She was the driving force in my religious and spiritual education, and I have so many memories of her singing in church. But I wrote it because I&#8217;d been reading the Bible one morning, and I was thinking about God&#8217;s unconditional love, about how we crave it but have so much trouble believing we can trust it, and how we can&#8217;t fully understand it. And then I left my reading and spent time with my wife and our children. Watching her with them, the way she loved them, I realized one of the ways we&#8217;re shown a glimpse of how God loves us is through our mothers. They cherish our spirits, they demand that we become our best selves, and they take care of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/bobby-mcferrin_b_1582043\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cSing Your Prayers: An Interview with Bobby McFerrin\u201d<\/a>\u00a0conducted by the Omega Institute,\u00a0<em>Huffington Post<\/em>, 06\/11\/2012<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Lord is my Shepard, I have all I need,<br \/>\nShe makes me lie down in green meadows,<br \/>\nBeside the still waters, She will lead.<\/p>\n<p>She restores my soul, She rights my wrongs,<br \/>\nShe leads me in a path of good things,<br \/>\nAnd fills my heart with songs.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I walk, through a dark &amp; dreary land,<br \/>\nThere is nothing that can shake me,<br \/>\nShe has said She won&#8217;t forsake me,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m in her hand.<\/p>\n<p>She sets a table before me, in the presence of my foes,<br \/>\nShe anoints my head with oil,<br \/>\nAnd my cup overflows.<\/p>\n<p>Surely, surely goodness &amp; kindness will follow me,<br \/>\nAll the days of my life,<br \/>\nAnd I will live in her house,<br \/>\nForever, forever &amp; ever.<\/p>\n<p>Glory be to our Mother, &amp; Daughter,<br \/>\nAnd to the Holy of Holies,<br \/>\nAs it was in the beginning, is now &amp; ever shall be,<br \/>\nWorld, without end.
