My Lost Gold (Remix)

Mama Houetin, you were my gold

Now heaven holds what my heart can't let go

Houetin Dehouete, you were my backbone

From the day I was born, you made me your own

Every prayer you lifted, every sacrifice made

You believed in my future, through sunshine and rain

You prayed to see me succeed, to see me shine bright

But God called you home, took you from my sight

hallelujah

I lost my gold, oh I lost my gold

What a caring mother, the best story ever told

Houetin, if heaven had a phone today

I'd call just to hear your voice, hear what you'd say

Mama where are you, I'm searching for you

I'm short of the wealth that only you knew

yes Lord

You left too soon, my heart's crying out

The woman who raised me, what's life all about

Without your prayers covering me every day

Without your wisdom showing me the way

I wish I could hold you just one more time

Hear your laughter, see your face divine

thank You Jesus

I lost my gold, oh I lost my gold

What a caring mother, the best story ever told

Houetin, if heaven had a phone today

I'd call just to hear your voice, hear what you'd say

Mama where are you, I'm searching for you

I'm short of the wealth that only you knew

praise Him

Houetin Dehouete, you'll forever be my gold

Until we meet again, in heaven I'm told

glory
