I Still Hear Mama Praying

I still hear Mama praying I still hear Mama praying The prayers that she prayed They're still keeping me day by day Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me When Mama bowed her head And knelt down in fervent prayer She knew how to call on the name of Jesus For she knew that He’d meet her there Oh, she thanked Him for health and strength Just to run this Christian race Oh, but she never failed to pray for her children Saying Lord save them by your grace (And I still hear Mama praying) I still hear Mama praying I still hear Mama praying The prayers that she prayed They're still keeping me day by day Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me Now the one that you call Mama She may be sleeping in the arms of our God But the memories of the family devotion Causes us to always trust our Lord Oh, she prayed for the Lord to bless & keep her children Always let the love of God abide And the prayers that she prayed will cover us Till we meet her on the other side (Mama prayed for me) Prayed for me Prayed for me (I can hear her saying) Prayer: Our Father, it’s once more & again Your humble servant bowed In the humblest way I know how I want thank you For last night’s laying down And this morning’s rising I want to thank you For a reasonable portion of health & strength I want to thank you that the bed that I laid in Wasn’t my cooling board And the sheets I laid in Wasn’t my whining sheets I want thank you for letting my moments Roll on, roll on a little while long Prayed for me Prayed for me (Oh I still) Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
