Mama Prayed

C Am C Am C

[Verse 1]
C                                 
She could sing like patsy cline, 
    F                C
and preach like billy graham
Tears would stain the altar, when 
                   G
she'd sing just as I am
    C                              
She walked my down the aisle, where
        F
 Jesus washed my sins away
                     G
I'm standing here today 'cause mama 
prayed

[Chorus]
  C                          F    
I never saw a mountain moved 
           C
because my mama prayed
               Am       G
But she could sure move heaven
        C
I never saw her touch the multitudes
    F               C    Am      
But trust me when I say, she 
             G
could sure touch heaven

        C                      
Looking back she wouldn't quit, 
        F
'till all her kids were saved
                  G                
I'm standing here today 'cause mama
 Am       C
 prayed

[Verse 2]
She could quote the old king james, 
             F          C
and make the Bible come alive
She loved the old, old stories, you 
                    G
could see it in her eyes
    C                              
She made me want to know the Lord, 
    F
and learn about His ways
                    C
I'm standing here today 'cause mama 
prayed

[Bridge]
G                              
Mama prayed when times were bad, 
       F
mama prayed when times were good
     G                             
Mama prayed when folks were acting 
          G
like they should
     G                             
Mama prayed because she loved them,
             F
 saints and sinners all the same
     G                             
Mama prayed for me the most in 
  F
Jesus name

[Chorus]
        C                      F  
I never saw a mountain moved 
            C
because my mama prayed
               Am       G
But she could sure move heaven
        C
I never saw her touch the multitudes
    F               C    Am      
But trust me when I say, she 
              G
could sure touch heaven
        C                      
Looking back she wouldn't quit, 
       G
'till all her kids were saved
