My mothers arms would hold us tight

She whispered lord keep them tonight

And so did we sleep sound and safe

It must have been my mother's faith

Morning would call the sun to rise and open sweetly slumbering eyes

She prayed lord keep them on their way

He held us in my mother's faith

My mothers faith was wrapped about us like the softest down in winter

And when the raging wind had found us as in her arms we ever stayed

At even time does for the field reluctant moon and stars revealed

She thanked him well as thru the day

As certain as my mothers faith

My mothers faith would move a mountain

And was deep as any ocean

But to keep safe those gathered round her this was the greatest gift she gave

When summer turned and we had grown

Her passing called us woeful home

I kissed her then as there she lay

And now I know my mothers faith

And so does she sleep sound and safe it must have been my mothers faith
