Lyrics: The night is long, her husband strong, at last a newborn baby cries.
She holds her near, this infant dear, and gazes deep into her eyes.
The power of a mother's touch, To bring a tiny soul to earth.
From heav'n above to mother's love, the hand of God is in a mother's touch.

An autumn day, she skips away, A tear is in her mother's eye.
Then turning back for one last look, the kindergartner waves goodbye.
The wisdom of a mother's touch, to teach and child and help her grow.
From heav'n above to mother's love, the hand of God is in a mother's touch.

The hour is late, she's on a date, Oh how the years have quickly flown.
Her mother waits and says a prayer for righteous choices on her own.
The blessing of a mother's touch to plead for guidance from above.
From heav'n above to mother's love, the hand of God is in a mother's touch.

A golden band upon her hand, a fine young man is at her side.
Her mother there to smooth her hair, and gently kiss the lovely bride.
The wonder of a mother's touch, in holding close yet letting go.
From heav'n above to mother's love, the hand of God is in a mother's touch.

A mother's touch.
