Lyrics

Mm-mm
Mm
Mama had lines on her tired face
From fighting storms in quiet ways
Woke up early, slept in fear
Praying God would keep me near
She'd hum old songs while folding pain
Turn little money into rings
Never told me how she cried
Just smiled and said we'll be all right
I didn't know back when I was young
Every tear was for her son
Every night when lights went low
She talked to God in whispers low
It was mama's prayers holding me
When I couldn't stand on my own two feet
When the world was cold and unfair
I was wrapped in mama's prayers
Through the fire, through the pain
Every loss, every gain
I'm still here 'cause heaven hears
Every word of mama's prayers (mm-mm)
She wore worry like perfume
Filled the house with cheap cologne
Skipped her dreams, fed mine instead
Put my future in her hands
When I ran wild, lost my way
She never stopped calling my name
Said, "God ain't done with you yet"
While I was drowning in regret
Now I see what love looks like
It kneels in tears every night
Faith ain't loud, it don't complain
It just keeps praying in the rain
It was mama's prayers lifting me
When I couldn't fight my enemies
When I was drowning in despair
I was saved by mama's prayers
Through the storms, through the years
Through my doubts, through my fears
Every blessing that appears
Came through mama's prayers
Thank you, mama, thank you, mama
Thank you, mama, thank you
If heaven keeps a record book
Of every tear she ever took
Mine would fill a thousand pages
From loving me through reckless ages
If I make it to the other side
I'll fall down at Jesus feet and cry
And say, "Lord, it wasn't me
"It was mama praying over me"
(It was mama's prayers) guarding me
Like angels walking next to me
Every time I lost my way
Her faith stood in my place
Through the dark, through the light
Every wrong, every right
I'm a miracle walking here
Born from mama's prayers (ooh-ooh)
So, if you're listening tonight
And your mother's still alive
Go hug her, thank her now
For every prayer she prayed out loud
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
