I Heard My Mother Call My Name In Prayer

(Flatt & Scruggs) As performed by Ricky Skaggs on The Grand Ole Opry June 28 2003 While kneeling by her bedside in a cottage on the hill My mother prayed her blessings on me there She was talking there to Jesus while everything was still and I heard my mother call my name in prayer Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer She was pourin out her heart to Jesus there Then I gave my heart to Him and He saved my soul from sin Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer She was anxious for her boy to be just what he ought to be And she asked the Lord to take him in his care Just the words I can't remember but I know she prayed for me For I heard my mother call my name in prayer So I gave my heart to Jesus and I'm livin now for him And someday I'll go and meet him in the air For he heard my mother praying and he saved my soul from sin Yes he heard my mother call my name in prayer
