Mama Prays Lyrics
My memories of my brothers and me Make me marvel at the way the years went by Here we are how'd we ever get this far I wonder how, and I wonder why Then I recall what these boys often saw When we would stop to look in Mom and Daddy's door They'd bow their heads as the knelt beside their beds And we could here them lift our names before the Lord
Mama prayed and Jesus stood beside us Daddy prayed and the devil had to run God looked down and his angels guarded through the harder days 'Cause mama prayed and Daddy prayed
Now the boys are grown and raising boys of their own In a world a little darker than before But the prayers go on every night and every dawn 'Cause they still bow and lift our names before the Lord
Mama prayed and Jesus stood beside us Daddy prayed and the devil had to run God looked downd and his angels guarded through the harder days 'Cause mama prayed and Daddy prayed
And Jesus stands beside me Mama prays and the devil has to run God looks down and the angels guard us through the harder days 'Cause Mama prays and Daddy prays
