Mama, Put Down That Picture • mp3
Words and Music by Sherri Reese & Joe LaMay

In the night when all is still
Mama holds a picture to her breast
Sometimes she hears a distant singing
That puts her aching heart to rest

Oh Mama, put down that picture
Wipe those tears, cry no more
Listen Mama, hear me singing
With the angels beyond the golden shore

On the night she was taken
There was no time for sad farewell
The angels called without a warning
Left her mother in grief to dwell

Chorus

The day she left her loving mother
She was guided by God’s own hand
He opened wide the gates of Heaven
She took her place in the angel band

Chorus
