| A Mother's Love Is aHaven |
| In the Storm of Life |
| A Mother's Love is like an island |
| In Life's oven vast and wide, |
| A peaceful, quiet shelter |
| From the restless, rising tide. |
| A Mother's Love is like a fortress |
| And we seek protection there |
| When the waves of tribulation |
| Seem to drown us in despair. |
| A Mother's Love is like a tower |
| Rising far above the crowd, |
| And her smile is like the sunshine |
| Breaking through a threatening cloud. |
| A Mother's Love is like a beacon |
| Burning bright with faith and prayer, |
| And through the changing scenes of life |
| We can find a haven there. |
| For a Mother's Love is fashioned |
| After God's enduring Love, |
| It is endless and unfailing |
| Like the love of Him above. |
| For God knew in His great wisdom |
| That He couldn't be everywhere, |
| So He put His little children |
| In a loving mother's care. |
