Lyrics
Mama Would Write a Note
Brown paper sack, prepared with love
Plus, a little note with words from above
She kissed my head, and said “You’ll be fine”
Then she'd slip that note deep inside
Lunchroom noise, I would bow my head
Then I would read the note to see what it said
It said, “Child, don’t fear you're not alone”
Every day there was a Promise to Hold
Chorus
Mama would write a note for me every day
Of how God was with me along the way
She'd place it in my bag as I would leave
A Promise of how God loves me
Storms rolled in on my grown-up years
Bad news and troubles filled me with fears
Then I found a note in an old kitchen drawer
“How God is enough, on Him you can call
Now my children are standing by the door
I hide a little note like my mama did before
A daily Promise from God's own word
A Promise that's filled with His Love
