[Intro]
G D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Momma would pray at night by her bedside.
G D
She'd call out to Jesus, in a voice so sincere.
C G
Watch over my children, and show them your mercy;
D G
Don't let 'em belong in this ol' world down here.
[Chorus]
C G
A Mother's prayer, more precious than diamonds.
A D
A Mother's prayer, more precious than gold.
G C G
There's nothin' on Earth, that could compare,
G
I can still see her kneeling there.
D G C G
Thank GOD for the Power! For a Mother's prayer!
[Verse 2]
C G
With tears in my eyes, in the darkest of hours,
D G
I cried, "O' LORD, don't take her from me"!
C G
Then she took my hand, said "son I am ready";
D G
Said the sweetest prayer, then she went off to sleep.
[Verse 4]
C G
Then I had a dream, I stood before Jesus;
D G
Saw The Book of Life, and my name was in there.
C G
Lord I done so much wrong, and I don't deserve Mercy;
D G
Said, "there's somethin' about your mother's prayer"!
