Beautiful Altar of Prayer

One day in an old country church house

I heard mother pray for me there

She prayed for the savior to guide me

To the beautiful altar of prayer

She walked down the aisle there toward me

The tears then came to her eyes

And she said son I’ve been praying for you

For fear that in sin you might die

Chorus:

Oh the beautiful altar of prayer

I know mother prayed for me then

She prayed for the savior to guide me

To the beautiful altar of prayer

My soul has been saved by the master

On the dark road of sin and despair

And I’m thankful to my dear lovin’ mother

And the beautiful altar of prayer

Chorus:

Oh the beautiful altar of prayer…
