Erma Elaine

[Verse 1]
Morning light comes softly through the trees
Like a hymn the Lord sends on the breeze
Some hearts were made to shine His light
Some souls were born to make things right
I've seen that light in one sweet face
My mother, wrapped in His amazing grace

[Chorus]
Oh, eighty years of faith and love
Eighty years of blessings from above
You walk in peace, you live in grace
Heaven's glow upon your face
Happy birthday, Mama, hear us sing
You are God's most precious offering

[Verse 2]
You never turned a soul away
On bended knee you'd kneel and pray
You gave so much and asked for none
You never wronged a single one
Elaine, your kindness lights the way
For children and grandchildren today

[Chorus]
Oh, eighty years of faith and love
Eighty years of blessings from above
You walk in peace, you live in grace
Heaven's glow upon your face
Happy birthday, Mama, hear us sing
You are God's most precious offering

[Bridge]
Some say a blessing's hard to see
But Lord, I see one here with me
Eighty years and still so strong
You taught us all to carry on

[Verse 3]
You still get in your car and drive
Independent, so alive
Humble heart and gentle hands
The finest mother in the land
Grandmother, praying for us all
Elaine, you answer every call

[Chorus]
Oh, eighty years of faith and love
Eighty years of blessings from above
You walk in peace, you live in grace
Heaven's glow upon your face
Happy birthday, Mama, hear us sing
We thank the Lord for everything

[Outro]
Eighty candles, one sweet flame
Thank You, Lord, for our Elaine
