When Heaven Placed You in My Life Lyrics

You faced the winds you walked through fire

And never let it dim your light

You left behind a life of struggle

To guide us toward a future bright

You carried dreams across the ocean

And held our hopes within your hands

I don't say it nearly enough

But Mama I hope you understand

When Heaven placed you in my life

It knew just what I'd need

A heart so strong a love so pure

To lift me when I'm on my knees

You've been my strength my steadfast shelter

Through the storms that came our way

When Heaven placed you in my life

It blessed me every day

Through sleepless nights and countless hours

You gave your all to help us grow

You prayed for peace you dreamed of healing

But carried scars we'll never know

And though another mountain rises

I know you'll climb it with your grace

Your voice still sings your light still shines

The beauty time can't erase

When Heaven placed you in my life

It wrote a story full of love

Through every trial through every triumph

You've been my gift from up above

You've been my guide my firm foundation

The one who showed me how to stand

When Heaven placed you in my life

I saw God's gentle hand

You gave your all to see us prosper

Risked everything for dreams untold

You walked through pain with quiet courage

And carried love that won't grow old

Now I pray for peace to find you

For brighter days to light your way

You've earned the joy your heart's been seeking—

A life of hope a brighter day

You worked so hard for those you cherished

And gave us more than we could see

You showed me strength through all your battles

Your love has shaped the best in me

And though I know you've faced the darkness

You never let it steal your light

Mama you're my source of courage

My heart's protector day and night

When Heaven placed you in my life

It gave me more than I deserve

Through every heartache every moment

You showed me what it means to serve

You are my hope my faithful hero

The one who always set me free

When Heaven placed you in my life

It gave the world to me
