Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "M"


Make Me A Blessing - George S. Schuler, 1924

Out in the highways and byways of life,
many are weary and sad; (are weary and sad;)
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
making the sorrowing glad.
**************************************

Chorus:
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) May Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, (I pray Thee, my Savior,)
Make me a blessing to someone today.
**************************************
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love;
Tell of His pow'r to forgive: (His pow'r to forgive.)
Others will trust Him if only you prove
true ev'ry moment you live.
**************************************
Chorus:
**************************************
Give as 'twas given to you in your need;
Love as the Master loved you; (the Master loved you.)
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;
Unto your mission be true.
**************************************
Chorus:


Mama Liked the Roses - Elvis

Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
But Winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time
She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see

When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning
I remember crying when she used to sing
Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
About the way we learned to live
And if we said our prayers

You know I kept the family bible
With a rose that she saved inside
It was pressed between the pages
Like it had found a place to hide

Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way
We bring them every Mother's Day
And put them on her grave
Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm
Mama liked the roses


Mama Prayed - Randy Travis

Em              C         D              Em
Daddy never went to church on Sunday
He said "That's one thing I'll never do"
But Mama never gave up; she said "One day
He'll be sittin' here beside me and you"
I can still hear Mama softly talking,
Her tears falling on her folded hands
That Easter Sunday Daddy walked in
That's when I began to understand
********************************
CHORUS:
When mama prayed, good things happened
When mama prayed, life would change
Not much more than five foot tall,
But mountains big and small
Crumbled all away when Mama prayed
**********************************
Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle
Doin' any thing I dang well pleased
Burning down life's highway at full throttle
While Mama burned the candle on her knees
Then one night I came home half-sober
I saw Mama kneeling in the den
As I listened she and Jesus talked it over
And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end
**********************************
CHORUS:
**********************************
It isn't like every one of them got answered
But the times they weren't seems to me were bare
You almost felt sorry for the devil
'Cause heaven knows he didn't have a prayer
**********************************
CHORUS:
**********************************
Not much more than five foot tall,
But mountains big and small
Crumbled all away when Mama prayed
***********************************

Mercy Throne - Dottie Rambo

Guilt was the voice with no promise of hope
The walls of my prison lay claim on my soul
When out of my bondage
His voice rose to me
"No prison can hold you
For I have the key
"***********************
Chorus:
I have gone to the mercy throne
I've bathed in the water
Where sins are atoned
So holy, now holy I stand
Through the glory of my King
My sins without number
Have vanished and gone
In the river that spills from the Mercy Throne
In the river that flows from the mercy throne
mmm-MMMM-mmm
***********************
Fear has no hold once the fetters are dropped
and chains cannot threaten the eagle that's flown
My Past is forgotten
Just a lost memory
And there's no guilt to remind me
Now at last I am free
Chorus:
I join with the angels and sing
Glory, glory, to my King
My sins without number
have vanished and gone
In the river that flows from the Mercy Throne
In the river that flows from the mercy throne


More To Go To Heaven For - Cathedrals

I've been on my way to Heaven
For such a long long time
And many things have happened
That clouded up my mind
But I'm more contented
To walk the narrow way
I've got more to go to heaven for
Than I had yesterday
****************************
CHORUS:
There's a golden street to walk upon
A bell I'm gonna ring
A brand new angel in the choir
I wanna hear her sing
There'll be a lotta friends a-waitin'
When I walk through the gate
I've got more to go to heaven for
Than I had yesterday
****************************
I've been through the lonesome valley
I've climbed the highest hill
I've known the joy of being
In the center of God's will
I've watched the angels come and take
My loved ones home to stay
I've got more to go to heaven for
Than I had yesterday
****************************
CHORUS:
Tag Line: (X3)
I've got more to go to heaven for
Than I did yesterday

My heart is spoken for

By You that spoke to me
Now I am spoken for
