Thank God For Mama And Daddy
Jimmy Fortune

I remember back when I was just a young boy
Of Mom and dad and my sweet family
Times were hard but we always seemed to make it
God seemed to somehow know our every need
And on Sundays we would gather 'round our table
And thank God for how he blessed our family
And for giving us a loving momma and daddy
And for all the time they spent down on their knees

God we thank you for mama and daddy
And for placin' us in their lovin' care
And for givin' us a Christian home and the good times that we shared
And for all the time down on their knees in prayer

Mom and daddy they've been gone for some time now
And that old house gets lonesome now and then
But in the quiet we still can hear their laughter
And recall some precious memories of them
And on Sundays we still gather 'round that table
And thank God for how he blessed our family
And for giving us a loving mom and daddy
And for all the time they spent down on their knees

God we thank you for mama and daddy
And for placin' us in their lovin' care
And for givin' us a Christian home and the good times that we shared
And for all the time down on their knees in prayer
