Lyrics
(Verse 1)
She could sing like Patsy Cline
And preach like Billy Graham
Tears would stain the altar
When she sang "Just As I Am"
She walked me down the aisle
Where Jesus washed my sins away
I'm standing here today 'cause Mama prayed
(Chorus)
I never saw a mountain move 'cause my mama prayed
But she could sure touch Heaven
I never saw her touch the multitudes
But trust me when I say
She could sure touch Heaven
Looking back she wouldn't quit
Till all her kids were saved
I'm standing here today 'cause mama prayed
(Verse 2)
She could quote the old King James
And make the Bible come alive
She loved the old, old story
You could see it in her eyes
She made me want to know the Lord
And learn about His ways
I'm standing here today 'cause mama prayed
(Bridge)
Mama prayed when times were bad
Mama prayed when times were good
Mama prayed when folks weren't acting like they should
Mama prayed because she loved them
Saints and sinners all the same
Mama prayed for me the most in Jesus' name
(Chorus)
I never saw a mountain move 'cause my mama prayed
But she could sure move Heaven
I never saw her touch the multitudes
But trust me when I say
She could sure touch Heaven
Looking back she wouldn't quit
Till all her kids were saved
I'm standing here today 'cause mama prayed
