Mason Jar
Tamela Mann and David Mann's 'Mason Jar' is a tender love song celebrating a committed, lasting relationship. The lyrics compare the preciousness of their love to cherished keepsakes like grandmother's pearls and a favorite childhood toy, and they vow to preserve it like a mason jar. The song acknowledges past heartbreak but rejoices in finding a love that mends and endures. While it is not explicitly a worship song, its themes of faithful love and preservation resonate with Christian values of covenant and commitment.
There's nothing sweeter than your goodnight kiss
Oh I pray that we stay just like this
Blending together you've got me convinced
That a love so perfect could exist
And I love the way...
You see right through me like I'm made of glass
You're the part of me that I want to last
I'll keep holding on
Like my grandmother's pearls
Like my favorite toy as a little girl
I cherish the moment when I'm by your side
I've finally found a love that's worth preserving
So I'll hold it with me in my heart
Like a Mason jar
Took you a while but you picked up the broken shards
After others who had no regard, no regard for
Something as pure and fragile as a willing heart
Now it's pieced together like a work of art
And I love the way
You took an open heart that was made of glass
And you filled it up with the stuff that lasts
I'll keep holding on
Like my grandmother's pearls
Like my favorite toy as a little girl
I cherish the moment when I'm by your side
I've finally found a love that's worth preserving
So I'll hold it with me in my heart
Like a Mason jar
La da da da da da da
Oh I pray that we stay just like this
I'll keep holdin' on
Like my grandmother's pearls
Like my favorite toy as a little girl
I cherish the moment when I'm by your side
I've finally found a love that's worth preserving
So I'll hold it with me in my heart
Like a Mason jar
