The Voice Winner Todd Tilghman Pens 'Blood, Sweat Tears' For His Mom

The Voice winner Todd Tilghman pen’s ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears’ for his mom. Often, we lay awake at night, worrying if we’ve done enough for our children. 

When that moment of anxiety washes over us, we turn to Christ and ask him to help us with our children. It doesn’t matter if they’re two, 12, or 22. We are always asking the Lord to guide and protect them. 

Todd Tilghman managed to capture his mother’s prayers in a song that will absolutely bless your heart. He said he penned the words after he thought about how he made it to where he is today as a godly man, father, and singer. 

“‘Blood, Sweat and Tears’ is a song about all the things that got me where I am today, not the least of which is my mama’s prayers,” Tilghman said. “Everything I am and everything I have is because of the blood of Jesus, the sweat of my own brow, and my mama’s tears.”

On a Facebook post, he shared about the song dedicated to his mama and posted a photo of her and their family. Mom is the rock of the family. We all say she’s not outwardly emotional, but we’ve all heard her remind us that she’s praying for us, and talk about God’s plan for us through tears. Blood, Sweat & Tears is for you, mom,” he wrote. 

What I love the most about this heartfelt song is that it truly captures the essence of a mother’s heart and how much we rely on the Lord for strength, protection, and guidance as we train our children into adulthood. And even then, our prayers never cease. This is the unconditional love of a mother’s heart who depends on Jesus every step of the way. 

Take a listen to Todd’s song and share it with your mother. Be sure to tell her ‘thank you.’ 

"Pay close attention, my child, to your father's wise words, and never forget your mother's instructions. For their insight will bring you success, adorning you with grace-filled thoughts and giving you reins to guide your decisions,” Proverbs 1:8-9.
