Mother's Prayer
Mary Rice Hopkins
Juggling Mom - Mary Rice Hopkins
Lyrics
If you ask me what my momma did
How she got by, how she lived
From a child I can smile and say
She prayed, she prayed
Oh a simple ordinary wife
Down the hall I could hear her at night
All alone at the end of a day
She prayed, she prayed
Chorus:
Oh nothing compares to a mother's prayer
Bringing her children to Him
When life is uncertain and your heart is hurtin'
Oh God will meet us there
Just like a mother's prayer
Once there was a very young girl
Who became mother to the King of this world
Overwhelmed she was faithful each day
She prayed, she prayed
And when God said "You will bear a Son"
Mary's song sang of what He had done
And when He died on a cross
She cried and prayed, she prayed
(Repeat Chorus)
Well now my life goes on
My mom's a grandma, well now I'm a mom
And I hold my children close every day
And I pray, I still pray
'Cause if you ask me what my momma did
How she got by, how she lived
From a child I can smile and say
She prayed, she prayed
