In 1997, Boyz II Men recorded A Song for Mama. The song is a tribute to mothers and the sacrifices they make for their children. If you have ever been to a wedding and witnessed a mother and son dance to this song, you know that by the time the song gets to these lyrics, there is not a dry eye in the room.
“You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be
What you have been to me . . .”
As the groom prepares to begin life with his new bride, he takes a moment to thank the most important woman in his life for her love demonstrated through her sacrifice.
As great as a mother’s sacrifice is for her son, remember that Jesus came to Earth to make the perfect sacrifice for all mankind. May we be even more moved to tears and feel a deep sense of gratitude as we read and reflect on the love God demonstrated towards us through Jesus’s sacrifice.
