I Heard My Mother Praying for Me

Last night as I lay down to sleep
I heard someone began to weep
Then I got up just to see
I heard my mother praying for meShe was kneeling by her bed
And tears of pain were being shed
She said, "Dear God, please hear my plea"
I heard my mother praying for meI got my Bible and sat down
And in the Holy Book I found
The way to end this misery
Thank God, my mother prayed for meI read it on into the night
And soon began to see the light
And now at last my soul is free
Thank God, my mother prayed for me
