When my burdens grow heavy (heavy, heavy) And it seems there's no way I kneel by my bedside And the lord's prayer i'll pray God lifts me right up (up, up) And he makes to stand Because when i'm troubled I wait for the touch of god's hand I once had a vision (vision, vision) As i knelt to pray I saw jesus coming And the world pass away And then i was troubled (troubled, troubled) But he makes me to stand Because when i'm troubled I wait for the touch of god's hand Thank god for a mother (mother, mother) Who's taught me to pray So i can be ready On the great judgment day When problems arise (arise, arise) That i don't understand I kneel down and wait - yes i'll wait I'll wait for the touch of god's hand
