Momma would pray, at night by her bedside She 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 pray, more precious than diamonds A mother's pray, 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
Chorus:
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
