A Mother's Prayer

A Mother's Prayer

Momma would pray, at night by her bedside

She'd call out to Jesus, in a voice so sincere

Watch over my children, and show them your mercy

Don't let 'em be alone, in this old world down here

A mother's prayer, more precious than diamonds

A mother's prayer, more precious than gold

There's nothing on earth that could compare,

I can still see her kneeling there

Thank God for the power, of a mother's prayer

With tears in my eyes, in the darkest of hours

I cried alone, don't take her from me

Since she took my hand, said son I'm ready

Said the sweetest prayer, then she went off to sleep

A mother's prayer, more precious than diamonds

A mother's prayer, more precious than gold

There's nothing on earth that could compare,

I can still see her kneeling there

Thank God for the power, of a mother's prayer

Then I had a dream, I stood before Jesus

Saw the Book of Life, and my name was in there

Lord I done so much wrong, and I don't deserve mercy

Said there's something about, your mother's prayer

A mother's prayer, more precious than diamonds

A mother's prayer, more precious than gold

There's nothing on earth that could compare,

I can still see her kneeling there

Thank God for the power, of a mother's prayer

Thank God for the power, of a mother's prayer
