JJ Heller - A Mother Like You (Official Music Video)

The perfect song for Mother's Day!

A Mother Like You
By Brandon Heath, David Heller, and JJ Heller

You gave me a drawer in your kitchen
You gave me the room with a view of the yard
Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it
You gave me the best of your heart

And you carried my rocks in your pocket
Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings
You had an answer for all of my questions
You showed me wonderful things

I know that it hasn’t been easy
I hope that I love like you do
‘Cause I know that this world would be better
If everyone had a mother like you

You make the best macaroni
We never cared that it came from a box
The mom in the stands always clapping her hands
Started cheering and still haven’t stopped

And you held me when I came home crying
‘Cause someone said something that just wasn’t true
I always said that Janelle was my best friend
But really it’s always been you

I know that I haven’t been easy
I hope that I love like you do
‘Cause I know that this world would be better
If everyone had a mother like you

Our second was born in September
I still can’t believe I have kids of my own
I look in their eyes and I can’t help but wonder
Who will they be when they’re grown?

I know it won’t always be easy
I hope I can love like you do
‘Cause I know that my kids will be better
If they have a mother like you
If I am a mother like you
‘Cause I had a mother like you

God gave me to the best mother I could have ever prayed for. Thank you God for my mother!

[AslanRising]

Don't ever let the liars and haters convince you that you are less of a woman because you choose to stay home and raise your children.

[bluevlilac]

"... Who will they be when they're grown?"
Cue the tears. 💕

[marianmalone]

I stayed home, raised my children, while we lived on one income. This was difficult but the sacrifice was worth it. I was privileged to homeschool my children also. My mom died when I was only 5. While I had step-moms, I was never "mothered", but I was determined to read books on raising children and I became the mother I never really had. It was the best part of my life.

[susan]

I was a stay at home Mother & always felt that I never measured up to my Husband's Sisters, who were both career Moms or other Mothers who brought a second income...until one day, I had a total breakdown about it, my kids, by this time were older, not little anymore, but 1 of my Sons put his arm around me & said "Mom...thank you, thank you for all your early morning breakfasts & getting on me every morning for not finishing my homework & looking out the window for the bus, so us kids wouldn't miss it, making sure I wore a hat as I went out the door, even though I took it off as soon as you couldn't see, but still, you always insisted I wear one. Thank you for always having a smile on your face when I got home & asking ME how MY day went, telling me to get out of the refrigerator because you're making dinner & I need to wait. For sending my friends home because I hadn't finished my homework, for getting upset with me when you caught me on the computer at 12 O clock at night, instead of sleeping, for so many things that you were there for & I never told you thanks or I love you or you're the greatest. I never asked you how you were doing, what your day was like, So many times, just assumed, because, afterall, your Mom. He told me, if it hadn't been for me being there for him every morning, every night, every time he needed me, he didn't feel he would've grown to be the man I raised him to be & he can't wait to emulate the same LOVE to his children one day, by my example of what a parent should be. BLESSED!

[naomahmiller]

Thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to be a mama 4 times over.❤❤

Such a beautiful song🤧🤧
Here's the lyrics to it.

You gave me a drawer in your kitchen
You gave me the room with a view of the yard
Whatever the hurt, you knew right where to kiss it
You gave me the best of your heart

And you carried my rocks in your pocket
Flowers and feathers and butterfly wings
You had an answer for all of my questions
You showed me wonderful things

I know that it hasn't been easy
I hope that I love like you do
‘Cause I know that this world would be better
If everyone had a mother like you

You make the best macaroni
We never cared that it came from a box
The mom in the stands always clapping her hands
Started cheering and still haven't stopped

And you held me when I came home crying
‘Cause someone said something that just wasn't true
I always said that Janelle was my best friend
But really it's always been you

I know that I haven't been easy
I hope that I love like you do
‘Cause I know that this world would be better
If everyone had a mother like you
Mother like you

Our second was born in September
I still can't believe I have kids of my own
I look in their eyes and I can't help but wonder
Who will they be when they're grown?

I know it won't always be easy
I hope I can love like you do
‘Cause I know that my kids will be better
If they have a mother like you
If I am a mother like you
‘Cause I had a mother like you

I love you always and forever my dear Mom❤️🙏✨ You are in my heart and soul. I can’t wait to see you again one day at the pearly gates! ✨🪽 Thank you for all the love that you shared from your heart to mine. ❤ You are an incredible women and I am so blessed that you are my Mom 💜🙏

[stephanierichards]

Being mom is one of the best feelings in the world.

[seedsofhopeonline]

I was going through a rough stretch. My Mother, old and drawn, came to me and said, “I will always stick with you”. She always did. 2 weeks before she died of Alzheimer’s she became lucid for 3 hours. Those three hours of saying goodbye and exchanging our love for each other was a wonderful gift from God. Thank you to all the Mothers that stick with us.

[heroofzelda]

I love this. Unfortunately, my mother wasn’t very kind to me. Yea, she put food on the table, clothes on my back and a roof over my head but there was a lot of mental abuse that I endured. I now have a baby girl of my own and I refuse to put her through the same traumas I went through. I pray I am this kind of mama for her.❤️

[gailea.]

I would sing this for my grandma❤️she's the best! and she raised me well❤️

[iforgothowtobreathebutisti]

Thank you Lord for blessing me with a wonderful, patient, and loving mother and grandmothers!

[patriciathomas]

It truly takes a village to raise a family ❤😊 thanks to all women whom always cared🎉

[thomaja]

My girls don't have moms, here on earth. I do my best, but they all miss their moms (3 adopted daughters). They stared in rapped attention to this video. I could see they were all a bit sad and nostalgic. I offered the only thing I could think of. We prayed.

[althea]

Such a beautiful song reminding me about the beauty of motherhood 💗💕 thank you 🙏🏻

[romanastrasheim]

I love you so much my dear dear daughter ....❤

[Juror]

My eyes started leaking for some CrAzY reason...
I miss you mom. 😘

[shanks]

I'm crying because I just made my daughter cry and I don't know how. It's so true that you don't understand true love and heartbreak until you have a child of your own. I now know that my mother is a Saint this world didn't deserve but was blessed to have. I love you Mom You're amazing ❤

[kimriseul_]

I always told myself that I want to be like my mom when I have family my own. She’s the best. God bless to all mothers! 💖
