Moms: Rock Your Cradle- Rule Your World

Come on moms- time to rise to the call

Put on your big girl boots, not just shoes from the mall

Can’t just stand by while the whole world falls

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

Nurture and Love, protect and defend

Don’t be followin’ every new trend

Gotta teach your kids to stand and not bend.

Gotta rock your Cradle and rule your World.

 

Time to rise above normal, stand out from the rest

Teach your kids to excel and give up their best

Equip them with God tools to conquer life’s tests.

Gotta rock your Cradle and Rule your World.

 

Don’t abdicate, someone else will rule,

Might raise your kids to be somebody’s fool,

Your mother’s heart should be your child’s school

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

You hold in your heart, the noblest call,

Kids gotta know God is high above all

When they know Him and love Him, they never will fall.

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

Only get one chance, kids grow up fast

They gotta have faith if they’re gonna last

Use time wisely, childhood soon will be past

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

Stand strong, go long, admit when you’re wrong

Be firm, God’s terms, help them study and learn,

God’s ways, teach them to pray, every day,

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

Help your kids break out from the norm,

To this world, they should not conform

Teach them surrender, God will transform

Gotta rock your cradle and rule your world.

 

Don’t get distracted, derailed, or depressed,

Someday you’ll have plenty of rest

Just buckle down and in your family invest

If you rock your cradle, you’ll rule the world.

 

So put on your combat boots, we’re in a spiritual war

Our children must know Jesus Christ is The Door

He’s life everlasting, without Him we’re poor.

If you rock your cradle, you’ll rule the world.

    A fun piece of writing, but with a prophetic tone… Mommies, my prayer is that you take great delight in the serious art of mothering… I admire you.

      I love you and your heart’s school for us readers, as well as your children. Thanks, again, dear heart. I know you are having a lovely Mothers’ Day.

    Heart’s school- love that thought- Edy- do you ever just wonder how in the world our country and values have gotten to where they are? Motherhood used to be such a “beloved” profession. I may be a dinosaur but this younger generation needs parents whose heart beats to teach them and raise them up to follow the Lord. 🙂 Hope you had a great Mother’s Day.

    probably my favorite line of all

    Don’t get distracted, derailed, or depressed,

    Someday you’ll have plenty of rest

    Just buckle down and in your family invest

    If you rock your cradle, you’ll rule the world.

    🙂

    thanks for the smile and encouragement you always bring!

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
