A Mother's Prayer
They laid the baby in her arms
She watched her new born son sleepin'
She bowed her head in silent prayer
To ask the Lord for his safe keepin'
You know his life has just begun
And sometimes it won't treat him fair
So be with him when I can't,
All I can give my little man
Is this mother's prayer
A mother's prayer can move a mountain
A mother's prayer is pure as gold
And the angels up in heaven,
Make sure she gets heard up there
Cause there's nothing that's more precious
To Gods ear than a mother's prayer
She tries her best to explain
As she holds his little hand
She says you're ment for better things
I hope that you can understand
Now all the papers have been signed
And your new home's waiting there
And one day they'll tell you soon,
How you were the answer to
Another mother's prayer
A mother's prayer can move a mountain
A mother's prayer is pure as gold
And the angels up in heaven,
Make sure she gets heard up there
Cause there's nothing that's more precious
To Gods ear than a mother's prayer
