The nurse at my dad's dementia ward in the nursing home told me how she was amazed that people could forget their own name and even how to feed themselves but they don't forget GOD! God works in amazing ways.
GOD NEVER LEAVES US HIS LOVE AND EVER LASTING , AMEN !
We're you running a fever,wiping your face.I worry you're over extending yourself.God bless!

Mama is precious!
This made me cry and laugh. My sweet Momma passed with dementia, too. She talked to a picture of Jesus hanging on the wall in her bedroom. One day she asked Him, “Jesus, do you like hot dogs?” I asked her what he said. Her reply...”He sure does!” Love and miss our sweet praying Mommas, Mark! God bless you! Oh, I got whoopings, too! 😉
I own a senior facility...It never ceases to amaze me of the God's interactions with our residents with dementia.
Thank you. A comfort to hear this.
What a beautiful voice his mother had!!!
She was one of my very favorite profs at LU. I had her my very first semester at LU, right after my dad passed away, and she loved me and championed me in such and incredible way that semester. I'm forever grateful to her!
I needed this. My mother is suffering from dementia, which they are now saying full blown Alzheimer’s. I had to place her in a retirement home this past Monday. I have done nothing but cry.
❤❤❤ Yes it’s very very hard to see our Loves one loss a battle in which there is no coming back from . In my prayers for God’s strength to see you through this terrible season.
I loved your momma! She taught a class I took at Liberty University. I use to love her stories about you Mark!!!! She was a blessing to us and now she is a blessing to Heaven.
I am so blessed to still have my mom here with us at the age of 89 ... While we are all sad that we cant be together for the holidays, but so blessed and thankful that we are able to call and talk to her on the phone..She still does housework and laundry and loves to be outdoors. Cooks just as good as ever!! Thank you Lord for a wonderful Mom!!
My sweet Granny had Alzheimer’s. A few years before she passed away, my mom and I and others from our church went Christmas Caroling. We went to my granny’s nursing home. My granny came up and sang with us. Not only that, she sang harmony. That’s one thing she never forgot how to do.
That's awesome
Tears! Dementia SUCKS. I wish this video didn't cut off b/c clearly he was not done talking. Thank you for sharing your mama. . . so precious.
I love this man. He takes an awful situation and brings out the joy. It's been a bad day, thanks Mark.
Oh man, I’m in tears. My grandma, Aurelia, had Alzheimer’s for many years. She had similar features as Mark’s mom. When we were kids, she always played the organ and sang hymns. Sadly, her disease was already underway; none of us kids got to learn music with her. With the internet, I know now that perhaps we could have heard her sing if we’d have played some music for her. Nonetheless, she loved Jesus and that’s all that really matters. She was finally free when she passed. Thanks be to God! \•/ Oh, and I love at the end how Mark’s mom says “Oh, that’s good.” 🥰
Honey, you learn now! They are watching.,..
You know I listen to this before, I was just now thinking, what an amazing God we have that as we get older we might forget everything else, but we still have the spirit of God in us so we never forget Him. Isn't that amazing!❤
Mama was correct, God used you today to make me feel better. Thank you, dear heart.
My mother was my best friend. Lost her 3-29-10 and can't wait to be with her and my amazing dad in Heaven. Lost my dad 8-20-12 and lived with him and took care of him. We became so close. Now, it's 1-16-20 and I have tears in my eyes because I'm so alone without them. I'm grateful they didn't have to experience the pandemic and see what a vile world we live in today. The happiest day of my life will be when my life is over and I can hug Jesus neck and be with my amazing and loving christian parents. I keep holding on, but want to give up a lot and be in Heaven. 💔
Ditto
Thank you. Your honesty blesses me.
Worked in a mental hospital as a chaplain and was amazed that when when we would sing with the patients who could remember their names yet when we sang hymns they remembered every word of every verse.
Mark is the #1 comedian as far as I am concerned. I have never watched comedian channel on TV. When you have to make people laugh at someone else’s expense, that is not humor that is humiliation. And there is a big difference. Mark is a true comedian, and a great singer. #1 in both.
Mark loves his Mama as many boys do. Father's teach boys how to be men, but Mama smoothes out all the rough edges. God Bless Mother's.
Very well said 👍♥️
Amen!
Thank you for putting that comment on TH-cam! It touched my heart.
Mark, I went through the same thing with my Mama...and I miss mine so much...But if there ever was a Blessed Woman...She would be up there with the Number One's...She taught me so much...She would look at me and confuse me with my Brother Robert who I told you passed the next year after Mama. God Bless You Mark. Gotta go feed my horses...
Thank you for sharing your comedian and musical talents
Aw, what sweet memories to treasure forever 🩷 God bless you and your beautiful family, Mark 🙏🏻❤️
Your mom had a beautiful singing voice.
I worked in the ER in Alabama USA Medical Center and I met people who were over a 100 years old, some had dementia and some had Alzheimer’s, the one thing they didn’t forget was Jesus. They didn’t know who their kids standing right there were but they knew Jesus and never forgot any verse they had ever learned, it was amazing, they knew God and they knew who he was, they loved him and talked about him as if he was right there. I pray that if I live to be that age, I never ever ever forgot the one who died for my sing, took my shame and forgive me. I love you Jesus with all thats in me.
Thanks for that! I'm 77 yo and was afraid I'd forget Him!
Mark your a hoot! you bring joy to many of us ..certainly me! I hope to see you live someday!
Thank you so much. I have been traveling this road with my mother for years now. I am blessed by God for every moment with her.
We are with you, Mark!
Mark Lowry is a precious presence in God's world!
Made me laugh AND cry! Gotta love Mark.
What a dear lady! She spoke at a women's retreat I attended years ago & I was able to meet her! She was absolutely wonderful, & gracious! As a speaker, she was engaging, & funny!
Power of your words Mark. Of course, God’s will. But the power of your words. Claim His word to keep u safe and continue the wonderful work you do for Him ❤️
I still go back and watch these and laugh so much! They are so good!
God bless you Mark Lowry!!!!
What a beautiful voice she had!
I don't know if you will remember me, but we met in Janesville, Wisconsin, maybe 10 years ago, or little bit more. You was doing a concert, and you kept going as long as you could until we all had to get to shelter because of a storm. I take that memory with me and I treasure it. I was so honored to meet you and get to talk to you. My first name is Michelle. God Bless You and Yours.
Thanks Mark, family love is the best love next to Jesus.
GOD BLESS YOU MARK!!!
I love the way he brings his comedy. He doesn't have to use foul in dirty language and he doesn't have to be vulgar to be funny.
ME ALSO....
real comedian that are true to their craft do not
look at red skelton burns and alice
Alistair begg
Amen!!! I just love him
Yes 🙌
Love you mark!! I will pray for you mark!!
Lol... precious Mama.. and precious Mark! Thanks for a good laugh.. much needed in these very last days!!!
Hello,how are you doing ?
Thank God for praying moms who believe in our God-given potential! Mark Lowry, thank you for loving your precious mother right up until the end. And she still had her pretty singing voice!
Our sweet mother lived to be 98 yrs and I know GOD gave her a long life because she served him totally. I was her care taker in my home and was with her when she passed away . I told her to go be with JESUS and she took her last breath .
My sweet mother had a gorgeous soprano voice. Today is the 28th anniversary of when she passed away and even though there's the hereafter to look forward to seeing her again it still cuts me up that she's not here. There's so much she and I have missed together.
Wow...your mom had an amazing voice. I was a caregiver for clients with dementia/alzheimer's, and each one taught me how to love. Truly a blessing. Thank you for sharing Mark. My own mom passed 7 yrs ago...a mom's love is the closest to Christ's we will ever have.
AMEN
ohh that brought tears to my eyes you sweet moma singing!!! What a blessing!!
Hello,how are you doing?
I cried…what a beautiful lady and a still beautiful voice ! Your a blessed man Mark !
I love your love for your mom that joy is precious
Thank you Mark for what you said about suicide !!
I was also that kid with notes on my shirt everyday, coming home from school. I would have loved to have momma like yours. She was your advocate. My momma just stood by and watched.
I’ve heard this story many times it doesn’t grow old 🛐✝️🇦🇺🌈🇮🇱
What a lovely soul and beautiful voice your mother has. Yes, has.
Oh Mark, how precious are the memories of Godly mothers! Amen! Thanks for sharing! It brought tears to me eyes. 🙏👍
It is so wonderful to have had a Christian mother who taught us to love the LORD 💞🙏 Because of her I am also serving the LORD 💞🙏
I lived with my mama and I tucked her end in bed and kissed and said I love you and said it back to me. This last 5+ years were a blessing to us both. We found out just how alike and different were and you know it was okay. She was 94 when she passed. I am so thankful I got this to always remember. God is so good!
Mark Lowry, my father is going to be 94 in March. He is in the nursing home, but does not really communicate much anymore. That time with your Mama you will always treasure. I remember Dad as he used to be, but don't want to remember him as he is right now... Does that make me a bad person? I haven't been able to go see him due to all the covid; so it will be a year in April since I saw him. Its impossible to talk on the phone with him now. Lost my Mama when she was 69 due to a rare and aggressive brain cancer.... It was Mama that taught me to love music...We would sing together and I do miss that!
Dad went home to be with the Lord today, Jan 17, 2022.
Mark, your humor blesses me. Thank you.🌈🙏🌈
You are so welcome
I am so glad that Mark shares his experience with his mother and her Dementia. We lost dad two years ago. Before he died he had Dementia. Hearing Mark share his experience with his mother seems help alot
Mark, you are a national treasure and Gods gift to humanity... Yes, your Mama was right. God will and still is using you ✝️
I’ll pray for ya, Mark. My Ma had dementia & I’m headed into early onset… you bring me so much joy. Thank You
Is "serious" even in Mark's dictionary? I've been listening and have seen him with the Gaither Band for decades. He is hilarious and his got his voice from his mother, what a dear!
I love this! My father in law has demetia and its painful , but you brought joy to such a devastating situation
Oh my word! That last bit broke me down! Ugly cying, let me tell you. My oldest son has ADHD and I pray for him so much. My pastor and a few others have told me God will use him, but I worry and have my doubts.
Amen... Who's going to pray for me now.. LOVE YOU MARK !!!
Bless her heart ❤️❤️
I love mark and i know he msses his mama just as i do,my mama,praise God knew all 4 of us til she passed, i miss my mama, such a mighty prayer warrior for the Lord. God bless all Godly women. Love and miss my mama so much it has been almost 8 years and i still want to call her
Hello,how are you doing?
Love the harmony! I work in an assisted living community. Those moments when you can see behind the dementia are precious
Hello,how are you doing?
I'm so happy I got to meet you last year, Mark! I waited 24 years for that day, and it was worth every second of that wait.
She was a great singer!
Think you for sharing your Mama with us.
And she was so right! God has definitely used you!
This is so beautiful you will sing with her again
Mark thank you for sharing your mama with us. She did a wonderful job raising you. She’s reaping her rewards as you stand there and talk about her. 😂🌻 Your so funny 🤣
Hello Lana , how are you doing ?
You made me cry and you made me laugh at the same time, Mark, you are amazing, god bless you
She still had a beautiful singing voice.
God sure uses the gift He gave him
Hello Teresa, how are you doing?
@@serenitywicker8048 you mean Mark uses the fit God have him? Sorry, wasn’t sure what you meant by “God uses the gift he gave him”. God gave Mark a gift, and thankfully Mark uses it for God’s glory.
In tears
Oh, Mark. I know your mama is beaming with pride over you. And God is too! God bless you. The next time you do anything in Nashville, i'd love to come and see you!
My mother had that to wish I had some video of her singing. Her and her brother done some of that great family harmony. They are singing for God now. God bless you.
@Hello Dan how are you doing

A good tribute for his mom........
Thank you Mark
So precious! She is absolutely beautiful. What a gift 🙏🏼❤️
Thank You Mark for sharing.
I miss my momma too, thank you Mark.
I miss my mommy too
Lord, bless Mark Lowry and bless us all. We all are in sore need of blessings all the time. This world is so wearisome at times. Actually, most of the time, but "Because He lives, We all can face the future." Amen.
❤ Blessings to you always
Love ya Mark 😘
My goodness mom had a lovely voice. Now I see where you get it 😊
Oh Mark. Thank you so much . You are such a great blessing. I am gonna say that to my kids starting today Mark . I Thank God for teaching me through you .. 🙂
Dear Mark, I worked at CBN when you and the Gaithers entertained the staff with songs, testimonies, and so much comedy that truly was a blessing. I think it was one of the first times they let you loose to express that wonderful gift of good, clean humor.
Years later, I had absolutely no clue that you were the songwriter of a powerful and moving song, Mary Did You Know, until I discovered that fact here on TH-cam. The Lord has given you great abilities and I thank Him and you for sharing them with the world.
(I wish there was a saved video of that joyous entertainment at CBN!)

I couldn’t believe he was the one that wrote that song because he was such a great comedian!!!
That song is the best song of all Christian songs!!!!
Mr. Mark Lowry, I forgot to say in my previous comment that I use to be a C.N.A., and that I took care of people with, among other things, Alzheimer's and dementia.The Lord showed me immediately how to be helpful to these sweet, and often times afraid and agitated people by "stepping INTO THEIR WORLD". This calmed them down, and we would talk, most times, "as if they were actually STILL living" in their past. I REFUSED to "talk AT them", I CHOSE to "talk WITH them". I always gave them: 1)Love, 2) Respect, and 3)Dignity, NOTHING else would EVER do, as far as I was concerned.wado,Mr.Lowry.
Daniel Benson please pray for us, I have an autoimmune disease that affects my brain and signals , muscles , nerves etc then my mom 83 lost her caregiver who she lived with , we have her and she’s so precious ,we need to find a place to care for her and it just kills me I can’t take care of her myself. Please pray that Jesus has the perfect place that will love her pray with her and do bible studies with her. We interviewed the only place open today ,a private home , they are not saved , don’t know Jesus and I couldn’t send her there. My husband took leave of absence to take care of her until we find a place but he has to go back to work. She’s small and scared and trying to be brave. This is so hard
@@bethaltmann868 I will pray for you.
GOD Bless this brother. He is Great 👍. Awesome Story With Humor .Brother Mark is a blessing I just found him surfing around. A hidden gem 💎
Hi Uncle Mark! Yes your mom was a beauty and a wonderful singer! Bless up!!my respect!
Oh my I told DAD the other day , who will pray for me when your gone . He loves it when I pray for him . Hun , I miss my mama too .
My mother wanted me to play piano at church. I didn't want to be in front of everyone. So I rebelled and lessons stopped. Later as a teen I became more interested in music. Ended up a pianist and organist. Mama's get their way! 😂
AWW, 😭 I just lost my Mother and I miss her so much ♥️ , Thank you for sharing this with with us.
I love you Mark!!!
Nothing quite like the Love of a Momma except for The Good
Lords. Blessings Brother♥

When my mom went to the nursing home the dr. asked her if she still had any of her teeth and she said every one of them. The dr. said he was impressed and wanted to see them. I started to explain mom was wrong when all of a sudden she said; "They're back home on top of the toilet where they're supposed to be". I thought that dr. was going to bust a gut laughing. Luved you for yrs. Hubby does too.
