Mama Was Alot Like Jesus Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Bates

MAMA WAS ALOT LIKE JESUS 

Written by: Tob Ctosby/Kelly Shiver/Ray Stephenson (BMI/ASCAP) 

I've seen her give her last dollars to a stranger on the street 

And do without a dress she wantedso we would have enough to eat 

When the ladies at the garden club looked down their noses at her 

I watched her turn the other cheek without a bitter word 

Chorus 

Mama was alot like Jesus 

The way she lived and loved 

A blessed sent from heaven up above 

She would pray for our forgiveness 

And sacrifice for us 

Mama was alot like Jesus 

She could stretch a bag of groceries for two weeks to keep us fed 

She could take an old potted plant and raise it from the dead 

Her words were like a healing touch when we had a broken heart 

And when I wrestled with the devil, shel led me through the dark 

Repeat Chorus 

I've got my Daddy's eyes, I've got my Daddy's hair 

But, I hope my mama's heart is inside me somewhere 

('Cause) Mama was alot like Jesus 

The way she lived and loved 

A blessed sent from heaven up above 

She would pray for our forgiveness 

And sacrifice for us 

Mama was alot like Jesus 

My mama was alot like Jesus
