The Wings Of Mama's Prayers

I've been to church on Sunday

And I've been in jail

And I put my family

Through living 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 a 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

And 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 a 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
