SARAH RIP

Lyrics

Intro – Spoken Prayer
Lord, only You know when, where, and how our days will end.
So while we have today, teach us to love a little harder,
hold each other a little closer,
and never take the people we love for granted.

And when I think about a woman who gave everything she had…
Lord, I think about Sarah.

Verse 1 – Soulful Rap
Sarah was a woman, Lord, You built her strong,
She stood for her family and she kept moving on.
Raised her children, loved her grands,
Worked with her heart and worked with her hands.

Never needed a man just to know her worth,
She knew who she was, knew what she deserved.
Nobody could walk over her or tear her family apart,
'Cause she protected her people with a warrior's heart.

You could drop those babies right there at her door,
And the grandchildren knew they had a place forevermore.
A bed to sleep in, a meal on the stove,
A house full of love, where everybody felt home.

Hook – Sung, Soulful
♪ Sarah, you are loved,
Sarah, you are blessed,
You gave your family everything,
Now Mama, you can rest.

You carried every burden,
You prayed through every storm,
Now let the Lord wrap His arms around you,
And keep you safe and warm. ♪

Verse 2 – Rap
She worked hard, made her own way,
Had her own bar, made it through the days.
Healthy, strong, always holding it down,
If family needed Sarah, she was always around.

Walk through her door, smell the food cooking,
Didn't need an invitation, just come on in,
'Cause family wasn't only blood in her eyes,
She opened up her heart and made room inside.

She gave her time, she gave her tears,
She gave her wisdom through the passing years.
When somebody cried, she became that shoulder,
When somebody stumbled, she helped them get stronger.

She prayed when nobody else knew what to say,
She kept believing when people lost their way.
And every line upon her beautiful face
Is a testimony of strength, love, and grace.

Pre-Chorus – Sung
Mama, you don't have to carry us anymore,
You've opened your heart, you've opened your door.
You've done what you could, you've given your best,
Now let the Lord give your soul some rest.

Hook – Bigger, Gospel Soul
♪ Sarah, you are loved,
Sarah, you are blessed,
You gave your family everything,
Now Mama, you can rest.

You've carried every burden,
You've prayed through every storm,
Now let the Lord wrap His arms around you,
And keep you safe and warm. ♪

Bridge – Rap Prayer
Lord, thank You for the woman that she became,
Thank You for the love that carries her name.
Thank You for every child she helped raise,
Every grandchild she loved through their growing days.

Thank You for the doors that she opened wide,
For the people she welcomed and kept by her side.
Thank You for the meals, the laughter, the tears,
Thank You for Sarah and all of her years.

And Lord, if she's tired, give her peace.
If she's worried, let every worry cease.
If she's carried too much, Lord, lighten that load.
Let her know she doesn't have to walk alone.

Final Verse – Emotional Rap
So Mama, laugh now, love now, breathe,
You don't have to carry what you don't need.
Enjoy every flower while you're here to see it,
Enjoy every hug from the ones who believe it.

Your story ain't just written in a book somewhere,
It's in every child and every grandchild you cared for.
Your fingerprints are on every heart that you touched,
And Sarah, believe us—you gave us so much.

You were the home when the world felt cold,
You were the strength when the family got old.
You were the woman standing strong at the door,
Saying, "My family is my family forevermore."

We don't know the hour.
Only You know when and where and how our days will end.

Today, we choose gratitude.
