But I had some wild seeds to sew

When almost everyone gave up on me

Mama just wouldn’t let go

Chorus:

Thank God for a mama that knew how to pray

That Jesus would keep me from harm

I went on my own when I went astray

But she prayed me back into God’s arms

Oh she prayed me back into God’s arms

Now I have a message to send over yonder

Jesus please let mama know

I’m not where I’m headed but I’m on my way

Cause she showed me the right way to go

Chorus:

Thank God for a mama that knew how to pray…

Yeah I went on my own when I went astray

But she prayed me back into God’s arms

Oohh she prayed me back into God’s arms

Oohh she prayed me back into God’s arms
