Lyrics
My Mother's Prayers
When I was a little boy Momma
Rocked me on her knee
As she held me tight in her arms
She would say a little prayer for me
When she tucked me in each night
She kissed me tenderly
She asked the lord to keep me safe and always look over me
My mother's prayers
She asked the lord to guide me through each storm
My mother's prayers
She prayed to keep me safe from any harm
Oh the hard times that I have found and troubles I have seen
Surely would have been much worse without her prayers for me
When I was a young man
Running wild and free
Before my mother went to sleep
She would say a little prayer for me
She didn’t ask about what I did
Nor the company that I’d keep
But she put her faith in the lord above
To always watch over me
Chorus
It’s a wicked world we ramble
Full of grief and tragedy
And I don’t where I might have been
Without her prayers for me
No crashes on the highways
No trouble with the law
Angel of the lord was there
To guide me through it all
Wrapped in the wings
Of an angel sent from the lord above
In answer to
My mother's prayers and her endless love.
Oh the hard times that I have found
And troubles I have seen
Surely would have been much worse
Without her prayers for me
No sisters did I have but brothers I had three
And I know that she prayed for each of them
Just like she prayed for me
No matter where we rambled
No matter where we roamed
We knew each night our mother prayed
To bring us safely home
Chorus Oh the hard times that I have found and troubles I have seen
Surely would have been much worse without her prayers for me
Yes I’m sure there was an angel Sent from the lord above
In answer to my mother's prayers and her endless love
