Chester D.t. Baldwin I Still Hear Mama Praying
I still hear Mama praying
I still hear Mama praying
The prayers that she prayed
They're still keeping me day by day
Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
When Mama bowed her head
And knelt down in fervent prayer
She knew how to call on the name of Jesus
For she knew that He'd meet her there
Oh, she thanked Him for health and strength
Just to run this Christian race
Oh, but she never failed to pray for her children
Saying Lord save them by your grace
(And I still hear Mama praying)
I still hear Mama praying
I still hear Mama praying
The prayers that she prayed
They're still keeping me day by day
Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
Now the one that you call Mama
She may be sleeping in the arms of our God
But the memories of the family devotion
Causes us to always trust our Lord
Oh, she prayed for the Lord to bless & keep her children
Always let the love of God abide
And the prayers that she prayed will cover us
Till we meet her on the other side
(Mama prayed for me)
Prayed for me
Prayed for me
(I can hear her saying)
Prayer:
Our Father, it's once more & again
Your humble servant bowed
In the humblest way I know how
I want thank you
For last night's laying down
And this morning's rising
I want to thank you
For a reasonable portion of health & strength
I want to thank you that the bed that I laid in
Wasn't my cooling board
And the sheets I laid in
Wasn't my whining sheets
I want thank you for letting my moments
Roll on, roll on a little while long
Prayed for me
Prayed for me
(Oh I still)
Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
Oh, I still hear Mama praying for me
