The Wings of Mama's Prayers Lyrics

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 prayersI 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 prayersI 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 prayersI 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
