The Wings of Mama’s Prayers Songtext
von Jeff Bates

I′ve been to church on Sunday
And I've been in jail
And I put my family
Through living Hell
And I′ve 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


(Chorus)
I see her by the bed with a 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
(End Chorus)

I was lost in the darkness
Searchin' for the end
But the light of Mama′s love
Led me back again
And if I've got a place in Heaven I′ll get there
On the wings of Mama's prayers

(Repeat Chorus)
I'm still holdin′ on
To the wings of Mama′s prayers
