[Verse]
G D
I'd been to Church on Sunday, and I'd been in jail.
Em G D
And I put my family through livin' hell.
Bm A G
And I'd been a heavy cross to bear,
A D
On the wings of Mama's prayers.
G D G D
I spent her last dollar on somethin' bad for me.
Em G D
I finally hit rock bottom, couldn't get up on my knees.
Bm A G
But the strength came to lift me up from there,
A D
On the wings of Mama's prayers.
[Chorus]
Bm D G
I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide,
D A
Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes.
Bm G D G
She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared.
D A D
And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers.
[Instrumental]
D-A-D
[Verse]
G D
I was lost in the darkness searching for the end.
Em G D
But the light of Mama's love led me back again.
Bm A G
An' if I've got a place in Heaven, I'll get there,
A D
On the wings of Mama's prayers.
[Bridge]
Bm G
I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide,

Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes.

She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared.
D A D
And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers.
D A D
I'm still holding on to the wings of Mama's prayers.
