Momma Prayed
–
He was a rough and rowdy boy
Wild as the hills where he lived.
And that old devil would smile,
He’d say look…that’s my boy.
–
But his momma would pray;
Lord….Lord have mercy
On my wayward son.
And Lord watch over him today.
–
The devil would laugh and say,
He’s mine now, plan and simple.
And there’s nothing you can do.
Why don’t you let him go his way?
–
And his momma would pray;
Lord….Lord have mercy
On my wayward son.
And Lord watch over him today.
–
Then one night sitting all alone,
The Spirit came to the boy;
Reminded him God died for him.
And that he was a child of the throne.
–
And his momma would pray;
Lord thank you for your mercy..
Thank you for all you’ve done.
Thank you for listening when I pray.
–
Yes, his momma prayed;
Prayed to God above..
That He would send down His love.
And God answered when she prayed.
