Mama Prayed Heaven Paid Attention

Angels Spread Their Wings And Stood Prepared

Once Again Satan Knew He'd Been Defeated

Cause God Had Heard My Dear Old Mama's Prayer


=============================================


In My Yesteryears Of Childhood Mama Taught Me That Having Fun

Was Sunday Go To Meeting Everytime The Church Bells Rung

And After The Family Devotion

Why We'd Gather Round The Stairs

Where I First Heard The Echos Of My Dear Old Mama's Prayer


=============================================


When Mama Prayed Heaven Paid Attention

The Angels Spread Their Wings And Stood Prepared

And Once Again Satan Knew He'd Been Defeated

Cause God Had Heard My Dear Old Mama's Prayer




In This Modern Age Of Missles Tanks And Ships And Guns

When Men Believe There's Just One Way  

That A War Is Ever Won

I've Got That Secret Weapon

All The Guns Cannot Compare

For I've Won A Thousand Battles

With My Dear Old Mama's Prayer




And When Mama Prayed Heaven Paid Attention

The Angels Spread Their Wings And Stood Prepared

And Once Again Satan Knew He'd Been Defeated

Cause God Had Heard My Dear Old Mama's Prayer
