Here is a song that we used for Mother’s Day from the fantastic people at Sojourn.

Remember Me ( Prayer of Hannah ) words and music by Jamie Barnes

Remember me, Oh God
In my affliction
Your daughters call upon your name
I am not full of new wine, but of Holy Spirit
Tossed in the wake of my shame
If you read the lips of this silent prayer
Favor your servant, my aim to bear
No razor shall come to a single hair of our young ( I Sam 1:11 )

Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord for service in the temple. This is a reference to that transaction. While we don’t dedicate our children to the Lord we can make a commitment to be an example of Christ to them.

Let the joy that lives in me leap in your proximity ( Luke 1:41-45 )
Oh mothers of Israel behold the son who has opened the womb of the barren
you have opened the womb of the barren.
Remember me, Oh God
In my condition
Your daughters call upon your name
We do not fear the snow
We are draped in scarlet
Hued by the blood of the lamb.

Draped in scarlet Hued by the blood of the lamb is such a great expression to describe our standing with God the Father in Christ.

May we raise our children to call us blessed ( Prov 31:28)
and bathe them with tongues of righteousness ( Prov 31:26 )
as we will claim them back from the jackal’s breast ( Lamentations 4:3 )

Jeremiah was rebuking the Israelite mothers saying that Jackels (wild animals) took better care of their young than they did.

We will claim them back.
