Verse 1:
Bb majorBb
While you were holding me
                     Eb MajorEb
You were praying prayers that only mamas do
   Bb majorBb
While you were holding me

You were fighting battles your babies never knew

Drying all my tears while fighting yours

Bb majorBb
All that darkness you lived through
     FF
Couldn't dim the light inside of you
G minorGm
All the broken pieces

You kept giving them to Jesus
    Eb MajorEb

Knowing one day I would see

He was holding you

While you were holding me

While you were holding me

You were showing what it means to live by faith
     Bb majorBb
And you taught me to believe
                  Eb MajorEb
There is hope even in the deepest pain
      FF
I remember every day

Oh, you spent so many hours, down upon your knees

Shaking on the gates of heaven, calling angels down for me
    G minorGm     FF      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
So selflessly you gave, made me who I am today
