Oh, heaven’s gain is our heavy loss
November 15th, a day the shadows crossed
It’s November 15th, the calendar turns cold
A story of a love that can never be told
In a world that’s spinning, I’m standing still
Trying to accept the shadow of Your will
My heart is heavy, Lord, hear my plea
For the woman who poured her life into me
Oh, Big Pot, my mother, my light and my guide
I feel the hollow space deep inside
Thank You Jesus, for the time that we shared
Yes Lord, I know how much she cared
Oh, Big Pot, my sweet mother, rest in peace now
I’m Adesuwa, and I’m keeping my vow
To live in the truth that you planted in me
Even through the tears and the misery
I miss you every day, in every single breath
Gone from my arms to the cold hands of death
Praise Him for the mercy that carries me through
Oh, Big Pot, I’m still walking with you
They called you Big Pot, the heart of the home
In every meal, in every place that we’d roam
You fed our spirits and you nurtured our souls
Now I’m trying to find where the brokenness goes
Glory to God for the grace that you showed
Helping me carry this mountainous load
I see your smile in the morning light
But the silence of the evening doesn't feel right
Amen to the memories, amen to the pain
I’m calling your name in the falling rain
Oh, Big Pot, my sweet mother, rest in peace now
I’m Adesuwa, and I’m keeping my vow
To live in the truth that you planted in me
Even through the tears and the misery
I miss you every day, in every single breath
Gone from my arms to the cold hands of death
Praise Him for the mercy that carries me through
Oh, Big Pot, I’m still walking with you
I know you’re singing with the angels above
Wrapped in the warmth of the Father’s love
But the hearth feels empty, the kitchen is still
I’m bowing my head to Your holy will
Hallelujah, though my heart is torn
In this morning mist, I am left to mourn
Your legacy lives in the life that I lead
A plant you watered, a beautiful seed
I’m standing tall, though my knees feel weak
Finding the comfort that only You speak
My mother, my mentor, my anchor, my friend
Until the day when the heartache will end
Thank You Jesus, for the life that she gave
Beyond the silence of this lonely grave
Oh, Big Pot, my sweet mother, rest in peace now
I’m Adesuwa, and I’m keeping my vow
To live in the truth that you planted in me
Even through the tears and the misery
I miss you every day, in every single breath
Gone from my arms to the cold hands of death
Praise Him for the mercy that carries me through
Oh, Big Pot, I’m still walking with you
I miss you every day, Big Pot
November 15th, I haven't forgot
Rest in glory, rest in light
Yes Lord, keep her in Your sight
Amen.
