A Special Love (Maria's Song) Lyrics

At 89 years old
So tired that she could barely stand.
But daily to the market she came
With a cane in each hand.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e96495-bread_of_life_orphanage~a_special_love_marias_song_lyrics.html ]
In a bag that was strapped over her arm
She carried socks made from wool yarn
If she could sell just one pair today
Then her hunger would go away.

“Mister“, she said, “will you buy
These socks that I have made?
For just a few coins,
or for food I will trade.

If I can sell just one pair I can go
With some food back to my home.
And tonight I'll make another pair
To sell tomorrow, if God hears my prayer.”

Then she said,
“God has a special love,
A special love for old widows like me.”

Then she said,
“God has a special love,
A special love for old widows like me.”

I gave her all the money I had
But my heart would not let me walk away
She couldn't be left to this fate
Not for even one more day.

Is it true that when one member suffers
The whole body feels the pain?
Is this just a theory that's been disproved
With a selfish religion to blame?


I believe
God has a, a special love
For old widows like Maria

I believe
God has a, a special love
For old widows like Maria

After decades of hard work and toil
Working the fields, tending the soil
As a mother, and dedicated wife
She now starves at the end of her life

Left alone in a world that's so hard
Destitute but faithful to her Lord
God's hand reached down from above
And found her with His special love

I believe
God has a, a special love
For old widows like Maria

I believe
God has a, a special love
For old widows like Maria

A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
A special love
