[male

Hallelujah,
glory
to
God)
Mama
Esther,
you
held
the
light
Life
is
a
journey,
but
your
faith
was
my
guide
Yes
Lord,
we
thank
You
for
her
today
I
remember
when
I
was
young,
just
a
boy
at
heart
Mama
Esther,
you
were
there
to
play
your
part
Teaching
me
the
rhythm
of
a
life
well-lived
Showing
me
the
grace
that
only
Heaven
gives
You
taught
me
how
to
work,
how
to
stand
so
tall
To
rise
up
again
whenever
I
might
fall
Budgeting
the
pennies,
working
through
the
night
You
kept
our
little
home
shining
ever
bright
Oh,
Mama
Esther,
your
love
is
a
prayer
Every
single
burden,
you
taught
me
how
to
bear
Life
is
a
marathon,
but
you
taught
me
to
run
With
my
eyes
on
the
Father,
until
the
work
is
done
Yes
Lord,
I’
m
standing
here
because
of
your
grace
I
see
the
light
of
Jesus
shining
in
your
face
Mama
Esther,
you
are
blessed,
you
are
gold
A
story
of
the
spirit
that
will
never
grow
old
Grade
five
lessons,
sweeping
on
the
floor
You
opened
up
the
windows,
you
opened
up
the
door
Teacher
at
the
school,
a
pillar
in
the
street
You
never
let
the
weariness
ever
claim
defeat
Six
o'clock
came,
the
sun
was
sinking
low
But
you
had
a
fire
that
would
always
glow
Cooking
up
the
meal
with
a
heart
so
true
Everything
I
have,
I
owe
it
all
to
you
Oh,
Mama
Esther,
your
love
is
a
prayer
Every
single
burden,
you
taught
me
how
to
bear
Life
is
a
marathon,
but
you
taught
me
to
run
With
my
eyes
on
the
Father,
until
the
work
is
done
Yes
Lord,
I’
m
standing
here
because
of
your
grace
I
see
the
light
of
Jesus
shining
in
your
face
Mama
Esther,
you
are
blessed,
you
are
gold
A
story
of
the
spirit
that
will
never
grow
old (
Thank
You
Jesus)
It
isn't
by
chance
that
we
made
it
this
far
You
were
the
beacon,
you
were
my
North
Star
Hard
work
and
prayer,
that
was
the
key
Now
the
blessings
of
the
Lord
are
flowing
down
on
me
Yes
Lord,
yes
Lord,
let
the
praises
rise
For
the
wisdom
that
I
see
within
your
eyes
Life
isn't
easy,
the
road
can
be
long
But
because
of
your
teachings,
I’
m
standing
here
strong
No
shortcuts
to
glory,
just
the
work
of
the
soul
Keeping
our
faith
in
the
ultimate
goal
So
I
honor
you
today,
with
a
song
and
a
praise
For
the
impact
you’
ve
made
through
all
of
my
days
Mama
Esther,
my
queen,
my
mother,
my
friend
Your
love
is
a
blessing
that
will
never
end
Oh,
Mama
Esther,
your
love
is
a
prayer
Every
single
burden,
you
taught
me
how
to
bear
Life
is
a
marathon,

taught
me
to

With
