There she is readin her Bible in the early hush
On that red tile porch overlookin that marsh
Her man beside her, tear runnin down his face
Spending time with Jesus in their sacred place
Same ol swing they’d watch sunset skies
She’d always say it was a painting from God Most High
After moon and stars and a peaceful rest
It was coffee and toast, ya know he made the best
Oh how her world revolved around that one great man
A little lady making his big dreams come true
From the ripples of quiet strength came crashing waves of faith and love
She had a way about her
A beautiful magnitude
She loved walkin in the woods with three little ones
Mr Redbird singin her favorite song
Watchin her boys playin ball on Friday night
Her girl singin Sunday in the Gospel light
Every day got us ready and out the door
Got the pot roast cookin and a mop on the floor
Round her table at night we’d tell jokes and stories
She’d whisper a prayer as we fell fast asleep
Oh how her world revolved around that one great call
A little lady making our big dreams come true
From the ripples of quiet strength came crashing waves of faith and love
She had a way about her
A beautiful magnitude
HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH SO SHE CALLED HERSELF THE QUEEN
BUT SHE HAILED FROM SOUTHERN GEORGIA, FROM HUMBLE ROOTS SO DEEP
COUNTRY MOMMA, COUNTRY-WIDE GRANDMA
ALWAYS IN OUR CORNER, ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE
BUT WHEN SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROR ALL SHE SAW
WAS THAT ONE MAN’S BRIDE
HIS GREATEST PRIDE AND JOY
He left her in the dark when he passed from this realm
She kept shining bright on behalf of both of them
But one Tuesday morn as the redbird sang
The Lord took her hand and led Lizzy away
Now oh how her world revolves around that One great throne
A little lady making bigger dreams come true
But while she was here with us she lived and breathed for her family
She had His way about her
A beautiful magnitude
Made all our dreams come true
She had this way about her
A beautiful magnitude
