Mama You Matter (Official Music Video)

Details

Description

In a message entitled “Are We Not All Mothers,” Sheri Dew said, “The subject of motherhood is a very tender one, for it evokes some of our greatest joys and heartaches. Heavenly Father has entrusted us as women with His children, and He has asked us to love them and help lead them safely past the dangers of mortality back home. Motherhood is more than bearing children, it is the essence of who we are as women.”

While this music video depicts mothers and grandmothers loving and teaching children, it just as easily and appropriately could have shown aunts, sisters, teachers, community members and spiritual leaders. We all play a mothering role to those in our circles of influence. My life has been blessed by my mother, mother-in-law and countless other women who lift and encourage me.

As you listen to this song, I hope you will know how important your ongoing efforts are and that you, without a doubt, absolutely matter.

Mama You Matter
You were up making breakfast at dawn
After being up three times last night
Your make up and your hair, well
They’re just gonna have to wait in line

Next to the socks
that don’t have a match
And the lunches and beds to be made
But if anybody ever asked
You wouldn’t have it any other way

Still sometimes you question
the good that you do
Well let me remind you

Mama you matter more than you know
That’s what they’re thinking
though it doesn’t always show
You may not remember
all tears and the laughter
But don’t you ever forget
Mama you matter

You live from homemade card to card
With the kisses and hugs in between
They get you through the moments
When you wish you had
another hour of sleep

The first dance, the break-ups
and trips to the mall
You’ve been there for it all

Mama you matter more than you know
That’s what they’re thinking
though it doesn’t always show
You may not remember
all tears and the laughter
But don’t you ever forget
Mama you matter

If God could come and sit with you
and tell you everything that He sees
If he could open up your eyes
I know you’d believe

Mama you matter more than you know
That’s what they’re thinking
though it doesn’t always show
You may not remember
all tears and the laughter
But don’t you ever forget
Mama you matter
Mama you matter
