Watch ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven’ by Reba McEntire in her new, touching official music video. Grab a box of tissues because you’ll turn misty-eyed as Reba sings about what she would do if she had seven minutes in heaven. Instead of asking God questions or meeting any other historical hero, Reba says she wouldn’t waste time with anyone else. Instead, she would spend every minute with her mother. 

Mothers hold a special place in our hearts. They loved us before we drew our first breath. They loved us at our worst and encouraged us to become all we could be. There’s nothing quite like a mother’s love. Today’s YouTube video captures the relationship between a mother and daughter. It’s been nearly three years since the Queen of Country lost her mother, Jacqueline, at 93.  

The three-time Grammy award winner released a new album titled ‘Not That Fancy.’ which also accompanies her new book, ‘Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots.’ Both the book and album are a tribute to her beloved mother, who encouraged her to become a music artist. 

The chorus line of ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven’ will resonate with your heart. 

Reba sings, “If I had seven minutes in Heaven / I know just what I’d do / Take a walk down those golden streets / And find a quiet corner booth / I wouldn’t spend all my seconds asking God questions / ‘Cause He knows I’d be back soon / If I had seven minutes in Heaven / I’d spend them all with you.”

Reba’s new song not only reminds us how time is so precious but so is the person who birthed us. If this song gave you goosebumps and reminded you how blessed you are to have your mother–don’t hesitate to give your mother a call and tell her what she means to you. And if you lost your mother, you can rest in the fact one day you will be reunited with her in heaven. 

Revelations 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
