Chris Rice - Mama Prays Lyrics
My memories of my brothers and meMake me marvel at the way the years went byHere we are, how'd we ever get this far?I wonder how, and I wonder whyThen I recall what these boys often sawWhen we would stop to look in Mom and Daddy's doorThey'd bow their heads while they knelt beside their bedAnd we could hear them lift our names before the Lord(Chorus)Mama prayed and Jesus stood beside usDady prayed and the devil had to runGod looked down, and His angels guarded through the harder days'Cause Mama prayed and Daddy prayedNow the boys are grown raising boys of their ownIn a world a little darker than beforeBut the prayers go on every night and every dawn'Cause they still bow and lift our names before the LordMama prays and Jesus stands beside usDaddy prays and the devil has to runGod looks down and His angels guard us through the harder days'Cause Mama prays and Daddy praysMama prays and Jesus stands beside meDaddy prays and the devil has to runGod looks down and His angels guard me through the harder days'Cause Mama prays and Daddy praysAnd Jesus stands beside meMama prays and the devil has to runGod looks down and His angels guard me through the harder days'Cause Mama prays and Daddy praysMama praysAnd Daddy praysMama prays
