A Mother's Prayer Lyrics


Momma would pray, at night by her bedside
She call out to Jesus, in a voice so sincere
Watch over my children, and show them your mercy
Don't let 'em be alone, in this old world down here
A mother's pray, more precious than diamonds
A mother's pray, more precious than gold
There's nothing on earth that could compare,
I can still see her kneeling there
Thank God for the power, of a mother's prayer
With tears in my eyes, in the darkest of hours
I cried alone, don't take her from me
Since she took my hand, said son I'm ready
Said the sweetest prayer, then she went off to sleep
Chorus:

Then I had a dream, I stood before Jesus
Saw the Book of Life, and my name was in there
Lord I done so much wrong, and I don't deserve mercy
Said there's something about, your mother's prayer
Chorus :
repeat the last line ...... and end
---

Ralph Stanley (born in 25 February 1927) is an American bluegrass musician. Stanley was born in Big Spraddle Creek, Virginia, near Stratton, Dickenson County, Virginia, USA. The son of Lucy and Lee Stanley, Ralph Edmond Stanley grew up in rural southwestern Virginia. Ralph learned to play the banjo claw-hammer style from his mother. It was her inspiration, coupled with Ralph's natural ability, which led Ralph and his older guitar-playing brother Carter to form the Stanley Brothers Band in 1946 after his service abroad during World War 2.
