You Showed Me Jesus

You were there when I took my first breath

Held me close to your heart and whispered, “You’re blessed”

Through scraped-up knees and tear-stained nights

You were my shelter, my guiding light

You gave more than I ever knew

Every bedtime prayer was proof

Of a love so deep, so wide, so true

That now I see it—it looked like You

You showed me God in the way you gave

In the quiet strength, in the nights you stayed

Through every sacrifice and every song

Through your faith when I felt gone

You lived His love with open hands

Built my life on rock, not sand

If I ever love like I know I should

It’s ‘cause you showed me God

You didn’t need a stage to preach

Just folded hands and words that reached

You taught me mercy, grace, and truth

And how to run to Jesus too

I saw Him in your gentle ways

In all the million unseen days

When you chose to serve and not be seen

That’s where God looked real to me

You showed me God in the way you gave

In the quiet strength, in the nights you stayed

Through every sacrifice and every song

Through your faith when I felt gone

You lived His love with open hands

Built my life on rock, not sand

If I ever love like I know I should

It’s ‘cause you showed me God

Now I stand on my own, but I still hear your voice

Pointing me to truth, reminding me of choice

And when I walk the harder way

I carry what you gave

You showed me God in the way you gave

In the quiet strength, in the nights you stayed

Through every trial, every prayer you prayed

You led me to the narrow way

You lived His love without applause

Taught me to trust the heart of God

If I shine His light like I know I could

It’s ‘cause you showed me God

Thank you, Mom, for all you’ve done

You showed me God… and pointed me to the Son
