VERSE 1
When I was young and a little naive
Safe in my home of make believe
She read me stories of giants and floods
But it was her faith that taught me to trust
Her peace ran deep though the mountains were high
There was light in her eyes through the darkest of times
God was the one who anchored her soul
And through her I felt the power of His love
CHORUS
I remember her hands
Folded in prayer
All the words that she spoke
Were like breath in the air
She lived through the joy
She lived through the pain
Whispering the name of Jesus
VERSE 2
Seasons roll by and changes have come
Now I’m grown up with a girl of my own
The land of make believe is decades away
Now it’s my prayers that show her God’s grace
CHORUS 2
I remember her hands
Folded in prayer
All the words that she spoke
Were like breath in the air
She lived through the joy
She lived through the pain
Whispering the name of Jesus
VERSE 3
Looking ahead to my heavenly home
Living out days I’ve prayed for for so long
Stone upon stone the legacy lives on (legacy lives on)
She holds my hand tight and says, “I’ll be ok mom..
CHORUS 3
I’ll remember your hands (remember my hands)
Folded in prayer (folded in prayer)
How the words that you spoke (words that I spoke)
Were like breath in the air
So I’ll live through the joy (live through the joy)
And live through the pain (live through the pain)
Whispering the name … of Jesus
TAG
Of Jesus , Of Jesus
Whispering the name….. of Jesus”
