Jeff Bates - The Wings Of Mama's Prayers lyrics

I'd been to Church on Sunday, and I'd been in jail. And I put my family through livin' hell. And I'd been a heavy cross to bear, On the wings of Mama's prayers. I spent her last dollar on somethin' bad for me. I finally hit rock bottom, couldn't get up on my knees. But the strength came to lift me up from there, On the wings of Mama's prayers. I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide, Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes. She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared. And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers. I was lost in the darkness searching for the end. But the light of Mama's love led me back again. An' if I've got a place in Heaven, I'll get there, On the wings of Mama's prayers. I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide, Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes. She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared. And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers. I'm still holding on to the wings of Mama's prayers.
