The Baby Girl of Gautier

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down a dusty Mississippi road, Where the magnolias softly grow, A little town they call Go-Shay, Where a baby girl was born one day. Youngest of eleven, Walter and Katie's daughter dear, Heaven's hand was on her, even here. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift His name, Through every season, He's the same. A mother's heart, a faithful soul, Letting Jesus take control. God is first and family next, By His grace, her life is blessed. [Verse 2] At ten years old she found the keys, Played hymns that brought the church to its knees. Singing to the Lord above, Teaching all her babies love. Three little voices, one big song, She taught us where we all belong. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift His name, Through every season, He's the same. A mother's heart, a faithful soul, Letting Jesus take control. God is first and family next, By His grace, her life is blessed. [Bridge] Ten siblings gone on home to rest, But she carries them inside her chest. Heaven's choir sings her name, And Kay, oh Kay, she sings the same. [Verse 3] She made us laugh through every tear, Funny mama, always near. Through the lean nights, through the long, She raised us up on faith and song. Happy birthday, sweet Kay, We thank the Lord for you today. [Chorus] Oh, glory, glory, lift His name, Through every season, He's the same. Kay, a faithful, joyful soul, Letting Jesus take control. God is first and family next, By His grace, our lives are blessed. [Outro] Sing on, Mama, sing on through the years, Your song still echoes, calming every fear. Happy birthday, beautiful Kay.
