The Wings Of Mama's Prayers

I'd been to church on Sunday, and I'd been in jail And I put my family through livin' hell And I'd 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 open wide Lookin' 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 An' 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 open wide Lookin' 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
