Don't forget—unless
you want to be left out of the will—that Sunday is Mother's Day.
And if your church
is tired of replacing "Father" with "Mother" for "Faith
of Our Mothers" on this special day, here are some brand new lyrics
for the old, old song:
Faith of our
mothers, living yet,
after church meetings, house-breaking pets,
Car-pooling Little League, lessons at 2,
None would get done if it weren't for you.
Faith of our mothers! Holy faith!
We will be true to you always.
Faith of our
mothers, living still,
in spite of doc'tring others while ill,
Working long hours and dinner at 5,
Only by God's grace are they alive!
Faith of our mothers! Holy faith!
We will be true to you always.
Faith of our
mothers passed on to each
child and grandchild, nephew and niece,
Sharing their faith, their hope, and their love,
Grant them your strength and peace from above.
Faith of our mothers! Holy faith!
We will be true to you always.
Happy Mother's
Day!
