Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

Mother Call My Name in Prayer

While kneeling by her beside in a cottage on the hill

My mother prayed her blessing for me there

She was talking then with Jesus while everything was still

And I heard my mother call my name in prayer

Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer

She was pouring out her heart to Jesus there

Then I gave my heart to Him and He saved my soul from sin

For I heard my mother call my name in prayer

She was anxious for her boy to be just what he ought to be

And she asked the lord to take Him in His care

Just the worlds I can’t remember but I know she prayed for me

For I heard my mother call my name in played

Then I gave my heart to Jesus and I’m living now for him

And someday I’ll go and meet him in the air

For he heard my mother praying and he saved my soul from sin

Yes he heard my mother call my name in prayer
