Just Remember - a Song History
Words & Music
May 11, 2002
As I prepared for Mother's Day and how to bless my own mother, Peggy Jernigan, I was drawn to recall all she had done to love me and prepare me for life. I came away with a sense of awe and wonder at her great sacrifice for me. More often than not, she chose my comfort over hers. She laid down her life for me in ways I had not thought of before. This song came as a tribute to her - as a gift for her on Mother's Day.
Dennis Jernigan
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
Proverbs 31:27-29 NASB
Verse
Yours was the first heart ever to know me
Yours were the first hands ever to hold me
Yours were the first eyes ever to behold me
Thank you! Thank you!
Yours was the first love I recall feeling
Your glance the first love that sent my heart reeling
Your arms of love so safe and oh, so healing
Thank You! Thank You!
Yours was the first laugh I recall hearing
Arms always holding to comfort my fearing
My life like a race...I still can hear you cheering
Thank you! Thank you!
Yours was the first smile ever to soothe me
Yours the first beauty ever to move me
Between your joy or mine I know that you would choose me
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank You for giving me life!
Thank you for singing through the night!
Laid down your life to give me life
Thank You! Thank You!
‘Thank you' does not seem enough
What would life be without your love?
Just remember I remember...
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
