Mama's Prayer
by The Pruitt Family

Album: So Much Sweeter

Verse 1:
Mama knelt by his bed that Sunday mornin'
Jimmy was gone again, left the window open
He slipped out in the middle of the night
God knows she tried her best to raise him right
And mama cried..

Chorus:
Lord I pray
Watch over my baby boy
Bring him home safe
Let him feel your lovin' arms
Lord I'm callin' in despair
Won't you hear this mama's prayer

Verse 2:
Mama's heart broke in two that summer mornin'
Jimmy was gone for good, left the back door open
His wish came true, he finally turned eighteen
He planned to live his life the way he pleased
And mama cried..

Chorus:
Lord I pray
Watch over my baby boy
Bring him home safe
Let him feel your lovin' arms
Lord I'm callin' in despair
Won't you hear this mama's prayer

Verse 3:
Mama sat there in church that Sunday mornin'
The people were surprised when the door swung open
He turned some heads when he came stumblin' in
Only the good Lord knew where he had been
Jimmy cried...

Chorus:
Lord I pray
Will ya please forgive me
I lost my way
Will you take my broken heart
If you have some love to spare
Won't you hear this sinner's prayer

The look on Jimmy's face
Said "Amazing Grace"
With tender care God answered
A Mama's Prayer
