Beautiful Magnitude

There she is readin her Bible in the early hush On that red tile porch overlookin that marsh Her man beside her, tear runnin down his face Spending time with Jesus in their sacred place Same ol swing they’d watch sunset skies She’d always say it was a painting from God Most High After moon and stars and a peaceful rest It was coffee and toast, ya know he made the best Oh how her world revolved around that one great man A little lady making his big dreams come true From the ripples of quiet strength came crashing waves of faith and love She had a way about her A beautiful magnitude She loved walkin in the woods with three little ones Mr Redbird singin her favorite song Watchin her boys playin ball on Friday night Her girl singin Sunday in the Gospel light Every day got us ready and out the door Got the pot roast cookin and a mop on the floor Round her table at night we’d tell jokes and stories She’d whisper a prayer as we fell fast asleep Oh how her world revolved around that one great call A little lady making our big dreams come true From the ripples of quiet strength came crashing waves of faith and love She had a way about her A beautiful magnitude HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH SO SHE CALLED HERSELF THE QUEEN BUT SHE HAILED FROM SOUTHERN GEORGIA, FROM HUMBLE ROOTS SO DEEP COUNTRY MOMMA, COUNTRY-WIDE GRANDMA ALWAYS IN OUR CORNER, ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE BUT WHEN SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR ALL SHE SAW WAS THAT ONE MAN’S BRIDE HIS GREATEST PRIDE AND JOY He left her in the dark when he passed from this realm She kept shining bright on behalf of both of them But one Tuesday morn as the redbird sang The Lord took her hand and led Lizzy away Now oh how her world revolves around that One great throne A little lady making bigger dreams come true But while she was here with us she lived and breathed for her family She had His way about her A beautiful magnitude Made all our dreams come true She had this way about her A beautiful magnitude
