- MAUDIE LEE
- WRITTEN BY CARROL HICKS
{C}-1993
-
- INTRO
- MAUDIE LEE,
MAUDIE LEE LORD HELP ME TO BE
- AS FAITHFUL AND
STRONG AS MAUDIE LEE
-
- VERSE 1
- I WANT TO TELL
YOU ABOUT A LADY WHO LIVED HER LIFE DAY BY DAY
- ALWAYS HELPING
OTHERS IN HER UNSELFISH WAY
- I WOULD SIT AT
HER FEET I COULDN'T HOLD BACK THE TEARS
- AS SHE TOLD ME
OF GOD'S MIRACLES SHE EXPERIENCED
- THROUGH THE
YEARS
-
- VERSE 2
- SHE WAS
NINETY-SEVEN A FAMILY LIFE WAS ALL SHE KNEW
- SHE RAISED
ELEVEN CHILDREN AND SOME NEIGHBOR KIDS TOO
- SHE LIVED
THROUGH THE GREAT DEPRESSION SAW WARS COME AND GO
- THE LIFESTYLE
OF THIS LADY MUST NOT GO UNTOLD
-
- CHORUS
- MAUDIE LEE,
MAUDIE LEE LORD HELP ME TO BE
- AS FAITHFUL AND
STRONG AS MAUDIE LEE
-
- VERSE 3
- SHE SAID IT IS
NO SECRET THE LORD'S JOY MADE HER STRONG
- AND THE
FAITHFULNESS OF GOD'S WORD
- HELPED HER
STAND WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG
- SHE SAID
THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES GOD'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE
- AND SHE FOUND
OUT AT A YOUNG AGE THAT THERE’S POWER IN PRAYER
-
-
VERSE 4
- WHEN HER OIL
WAS ALL GONE HER LAMP STILL BURNED AT
- MIRACLES AT HER
HOUSE WAS JUST A WAY OF LIFE
- ALWAYS GAVE TO
OTHERS WHEN THERE WASN'T MUCH TO
- HER FLOUR
BARREL NEVER EMPTIED AS LONG AS THIS LADY
-
- VERSE 5
- SHE'S UP IN
HEAVEN NOW HER RACE DOWN HERE IS
- I KNOW SHE HAD
A BIG SMILE WHEN OUR FATHER SAID WELL DONE TOUCHED A LOT OF LIVES HERE AND
MINE ESPECIALLY
- THANK YOU LORD
FOR YOUR SERVANT THIS EARTH
- CALLED MAUDIE
LEE
-
-
CHORUS
