As a child I thought
Mom could walk on water
The others had their heros
She was mine
She never traveled far
Or gained much worldly honor
But she could reach the throne of God
At any time

Lord, would you tell mama
Tonight her prayers were answered
When the angels were rejoicing
It was for me
From the path of sin
My soul has been delivered
Please tell mama that by her prayers
I now am free

With each passing day
She prayed for my salvation
But Christian ways just never fit my life
Since she made it home
I know that she's been waiting
Wish I could see her face
When she gets the news tonight

Lord, would you tell mama
Tonight her prayers were answered
When the angels were rejoicing
It was for me
From the path of sin
My soul has been delivered
Please tell mama that by her prayers
I now am free
Please tell mama that by her prayers
I now am free
