The Wings Of Mama's Prayers

I've been to church on Sunday and I've been in jail I put my whole family through livin' hell And I've been a heavy cross to bear On the wings of Mama's prayers I spent her last dollar on somethin' bad for me I finally hit rock bottom, couldn't get up on my knees But the strength came to lift me up from there On the wings of Mama's prayers I see her by the bed with her Bible opened wide Looking up at Heaven with tears in her eyes She knew when I was troubled She knew when I was scared And I found salvation On the wings of Mama's prayers I was lost in the darkness, searchin' for the end But the light of Mama's love led me back again If I've got a place in Heaven, I'll get there On the wings of Mama's prayers I see her by the bed with her Bible opened wide Looking up at Heaven with tears in her eyes She knew when I was troubled She knew when I was scared And I found salvation On the wings of Mama's prayers I'm still holdin' on To the wings of Mama's prayers
