I Still Hear Mama Praying

Chester Baldwin


Chorus: 
I still hear mama praying, 
I still hear mama praying; 
and the prayers that she prayed, 
they're still keeping me day by day; 
oh I still hear mama praying for me. 

Verse 1: 
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 thank him for health and for strength 
Just to run this Christian race 
Oh but she never, she never failed 
To pray, pray for children 
Saying Lord save them by your grace 

Chorus 

Verse 2: 
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 in our Lord 
Oh, she prayed for the Lord to bless and keep her children 
Always let the love of God abide 
Oh and the prayer that she prayed will cover 
Cover us till we meet her, meet her on the other, other side 

Vamp: 
Pray for me, 
pray for me. 

Ending: 

Oh, I still hear mama praying for me.
