Mama Why Did Jesus Take My Daddy?
This song sings of a situation all of us have either heard, read about or experienced ourselves. The death of a parental figure can be devasting to a young child. And as adults we struggle to offer an explanation to those children, words of comfort and peace. This song may help those adults who are looking for the right thing to say to when a child loses a parent.

Verse 1. Late June in the afternoon.
A small boy in a crowded room.
His mama in her best frock.
His daddy in a pine box.
Folks that gathered came from hilltops.
Bringing chicken and ham hocks.
To say, "Farewell. Meet you in Glory".
Verse 2. Preacher reading scripture,
holding Daddy's picture.
Gospel singing, "...circle of life...".
"God gives life or takes away,
know why on Judgement Day.
His name is Holy."
Chorus 1. "Mama, why did Jesus take my daddy?
Is Heaven so lonely?
Why'd he take my best friend?"
Verse 3. No, the young man didn't understand
how sorrow fit with God's plan.
Where was the "sweet-by-and-by"?
"Mama, you never lied to me.
Please explain why to me.
Tell me the story."
Chorus 2. "Mama, why did Jesus take my daddy?
Is Heaven so lonely?
Why'd he take my best friend?"
"Baby, that's easy to answer.
He took your daddy.
to Heaven
to love.
