While kneeling by her bedside in a cottage on the hill 
                                     F 
My mother prayed her blessings on me there 
        Bb                           Gm             Bb 
She was talking there to Jesus while everything was still 
                      F               Bb 
and I heard my mother call my name in prayer 
 
         F                               Bb 
   Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer 
           C7                            F 
   She was pourin out her heart to Jesus there 
          Bb                          Gm                 Bb 
   Then I gave my heart to Him and He saved my soul from sin 
                          F               Bb 
   Yes 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 words I can't remember but I know she prayed for me 
For I heard my mother call my name in prayer 
 
So I gave my heart to Jesus and I'm livin 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
