While kneeling by her beside in a cottage on the hill My mother prayed her blessing for me there She was talking then with Jesus while everything was still And I heard my mother call my name in prayer
Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer She was pouring out her heart to Jesus there Then I gave my heart to Him and He saved my soul from sin For I heard my mother call my name in prayer
She was anxious for her boy to be just what he ought to be And she asked the lord to take Him in His care Just the worlds I can't remember but I know she prayed for me For I heard my mother call my name in played
Then I gave my heart to Jesus and I'm living now for him And someday I'll go and meet him in the air For he heard my mother praying and he saved my soul from sin Yes he heard my mother call my name in prayer.
