When Mama prayed heaven paid attention
The angels spread their wings and stood prepared
And once again Satan knew he'd been defeated
'Cause God had heard my dear old Mama's prayer.
In my yesteryears of childhood
Mama taught me that having fun
Was Sunday morning meeting time
Every time those church bells rung
After our devotions
She'd lead me up those stairs
Where I first head the echo
Of my dear old Mama's prayers.
When Mama prayed heaven paid attention
The angels spread their wings and stood prepared
And once again Satan knew he'd been defeated
'Cause God had heard my dear old Mama's prayer.
In this modern age of missiles
Tanks and ships and guns
When men believe there's just one way
That a war is ever won
I've had that secret weapon
All the bombs cannot compare
For I've won a thousand battles
With my dear old Mama's prayer.
When Mama prayed heaven paid attention
The angels spread their wings and stood prepared
And once again Satan knew he'd been defeated
'Cause God had heard my dear old Mama's prayer.
And if you could leave one hand me down
For this old Mama's kid
Just teach me how to pray like Mama did.
