The Wings Of Mama’s Prayers - Jeff Bates

The Wings Of Mama's Prayers - Jeff Bates
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 prayers
I 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 prayers
I 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 prayers
I was lost in the darkness searching 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
I 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 prayers
I'm still holding on to the wings of Mama's prayers
