YOU ARE DEEPLY LOVED AND APPRECIATED WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE
Lyrics
Sarah…
Today, we’re not asking you for anything.
Today, we came to give something back.
After all the years you spent giving your love,
your time, your strength, your prayers…
Today, Mama…
we give you your flowers.
And we want you to smell them
while you’re still here to enjoy them.
So sit back…
Take a deep breath…
And let us tell you
what your life means to us.
Verse 1 – Warm R&B Soul
You’ve walked through seasons
that could’ve broken you,
You’ve cried some tears
that nobody ever knew.
You carried your family
when your own heart was tired,
You kept on loving
when you felt uninspired.
You worked hard, Mama,
you gave everything you had,
You made a way for us
through the good and the bad.
When somebody needed you,
you were always there,
With a heart full of love
and a soul full of prayer.
You gave when you didn't have much to give,
You kept on going
because you knew how to live.
And every time life
tried to knock you down…
You found a way, Mama,
to get back up off the ground.
Pre-Chorus – Building Emotion
But Mama…
You don't have to carry everybody anymore.
You don't have to stand guard
at everybody's door.
You gave us your strength,
you gave us your best…
So let us love you now…
Mama, it's your time to rest.
Chorus – Soulful, Big Harmonies
🌹 Your flowers are here, Sarah…
And they're yours to smell today.
For every tear you cried,
For every prayer you prayed.
For every time you stood strong
when you were tired inside,
For loving everybody
and putting yourself aside.
Your flowers are here, Sarah…
So sit back and enjoy the view.
You spent your whole life loving us…
Now let us love you.
Laugh a little louder,
Rest a little more.
You've carried enough, Mama…
You don't have to carry anymore.
Verse 2 – Intimate, Soulful
Look at your silver hair, Mama,
don't you ever hide it.
Every strand is a chapter,
every memory is written beside it.
Every line upon your face
has a story of its own—
Some were written through laughter,
some through tears you cried alone.
But look at you…
Still beautiful.
Look at you…
Still standing.
Look at you…
Still loving.
Look at you…
Still shining.
You are beautiful
not just because of what we see.
You're beautiful because
of who you've always been to me.
A mother…
A grandmother…
A friend…
A teacher…
A protector…
A woman whose love
has reached generations.
Your fingerprints are everywhere.
In every child you raised,
every grandchild you loved,
every person you encouraged…
A piece of you lives on.
Pre-Chorus – Soft, Almost Whispered
So Mama…
Don't worry about tomorrow.
Don't carry yesterday.
The Lord has already brought you
a mighty long way.
Let His peace cover you.
Let His love surround you.
You've done all you could do…
Now let somebody love you.
Chorus – Bigger
🌹 Your flowers are here, Sarah…
And they're yours to smell today.
For every tear you cried,
For every prayer you prayed.
For every sacrifice you made,
For every time you stayed.
For every heart you touched
along the way.
Your flowers are here, Sarah…
And we're giving them to you.
Because you gave us your whole heart…
Now our hearts belong to you.
Laugh a little louder,
Rest a little more.
You've carried enough, Mama…
You don't have to carry anymore.
[Bridge – Gospel Soul / Church Organ Enters]
You made it through the valley…
Yes, you did!
You made it through the rain…
You kept your faith in God
through sunshine and through pain.
You cried…
But you kept praying.
You hurt…
But you kept loving.
You fell…
But you kept getting back up.
And look at you now, Sarah…
Still standing!
Still loving!
Still shining!
Still beautiful!
The Lord kept you!
The Lord covered you!
The Lord carried you!
And everything you poured into everybody else…
God knows how to pour it back into you!
So receive the love…
Receive the peace!
Receive the joy…
Receive your flowers!
You don't have to worry anymore!

Verse 3 – Music Drops Back Down
Now enjoy your mornings,
enjoy your nights.
Enjoy your family
under beautiful lights.
Enjoy every laugh,
every hug, every kiss.
Enjoy all the little things
that make a life like this.
You don't have to be strong
for everybody anymore.
You don't have to carry
what isn't yours.
Your work has blessed us.
Your prayers have covered us.
