Shirley Caesar Remember Mama
And the love that she gave
Kneeling by her bed side
I can still hear Mama say
We went to school with holes in our shoes
We didn’t have much but the Lord saw us through
Mama kept the family together
I remember Mama in a happy way
It might’ve seemed empty
But it was more than others had
It had a lot of love way down deep inside, yes it did yeh and
I remember Mama in a happy way
I remember Mama in a happy way
Somehow I know she’s smiling, she’s smiling on us right now
One day I’ll see her again, how happy I will be
I remember Mama in a happy way
I remember Mama in a happy way
Although my Mama is gone, she’s right here in our hearts
We’re all gonna pull together and stay in the holy place
I remember Mama in a happy way
I remember Mama in a happy way
I remember mama (I remember Mama in a happy way)
I remember mama (I remember Mama in a happy way)
I remember my mama (I remember Mama in a happy way)

Shirley Caesar No Charge
While she was fixing supper
And he handed her a piece paper he had been writing on
And after wiping her hands on an apron
She took it in her hands and read it
And for making up my own bed this week one dollar
For going to the store fifty cents
And playing with little brother while you went shopping twenty five cents
Taking out the trash one dollar
And for raking the yard two dollars
Total owed one fourteen seventy five
And a thousand memories flashed through her mind
For the nights I sat up with doctored you and prayed for you $ no charge
For the time and tears and the costs through the years
There is no charge
And the worries ahead
For the advice and the knowledge
And the costs of your college
There is no charge
And for wiping your nose
There’s no charge son
When you add it all the full cost of my love is no charge
I think about the day that Jesus went out to Calvary and gave his life as a ransom for me
I like to think about the very minute that he shed his blood
My debt was paid in full
And I want you to know today
When you add it all up
The full cost of real love is no charge
