A Mother’s Faith
— She Follows Jesus
By Lynn Shaw Bailey and Becki Slagle Mayo
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his Word,
there is joy
when we trust and obey.
Bold and tender, humble, strong,
full of laughter, joy and song.
Hands that labor, arms that hold
both the children and the old.
Slow to anger, full of grace.
Loving smile up on her face.
Acts of mercy, words of peace.
Faithful prayers that never cease.
Step by step and day by day,
she follows Jesus.
With God’s Word to light her way,
she follows Jesus.
With her life and with her love,
she finds strength from God above.
By God’s grace,
she has the faith to follow Jesus.
More than diamonds, more than silver,
more than rubies, more than gold,
is the one who lives for Jesus
and provides a loving home.
And her children call her blessed,
far surpassing all the rest,
for she puts her hope in Jesus,
showing others what is best.
Step by step and day by day,
she follows Jesus.
With God’s Word to light her way,
she follows Jesus.
With her life and with her love,
she finds strength from God above.
By God’s grace,
she has the faith to follow Jesus.
When we walk with the Lord,
we follow Jesus.
When we walk with the Lord,
We follow Jesus.
With her life and with her love,
she finds strength from God above.
By God’s grace,
she has the faith to follow Jesus.
By God’s grace,
she has the faith to follow Jesus.
