A Momma That Can Pray
Dear Lord: I want to thank you
for a momma that can pray.
It's because of momma's prayers I know
that I'm standing here today.
I remember many years ago
when I was just a child.
How many times late at night
I would hear momma praying out loud.
She would be asking you to give her strength
to make it through each day,
and praying that you would keep us all
on that straight and narrow way.
At times I have stumbled,
I've gone astray, and I did fall.
But with momma's prayers and the grace of God
I have made it through it all.
So Lord I want to thank you
each and every day.
For your love that's everlasting,
and a momma that can pray.
