Last night as I lay down to sleep,
E -A
I heard someone began to weep.
D A
Then I got up, just to see
E A
I heard my mother praying for me.
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.
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.
