The Wings Of Mama's Prayers Lyrics - 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 searchin' 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
