[Intro]

A E A

[Verse]

Last night as I lay down to sleep,

E A

I heard someone began to weep.

Then I got up, just to see

E A

I heard my mother praying for me.

[Verse]

A D A

She was kneeling by her bed,

E A

And tears of pain were being shed.

D A

She said, 'Dear God, please hear my plea'.

E A

I heard my mother praying for me.

[Verse]

A D A

I got my Bible and set out,

E A

And in the Holy Book I found

D A

The way to end this misery.

E A

Thank God my mother prayed for me.

A D A

I read it on into the night,

E A

And soon began to see the light

D A

And now at last my soul is free.

E A

Thank God my mother prayed for me
