Verse:
A augmentedA          D MajorD    A augmentedA
Last night as I lay down to sleep,
  E MajorE       A augmentedA
I heard someone began to weep.
      D MajorD      A augmentedA
Then I got up, just to see
           E MajorE    A augmentedA
I heard my mother praying for me.

Verse:
A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA
She was kneeling by her bed,
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
And tears of pain were being shed.
        D MajorD           A augmentedA
She said, 'Dear God, please hear my plea'.
           E MajorE    A augmentedA
I heard my mother praying for me.

Verse:
A augmentedA        D MajorD    A augmentedA
I got my Bible and set out,
   E MajorE      A augmentedA
And in the Holy Book I found
      D MajorD      A augmentedA
The way to end this misery.
           E MajorE     A augmentedA
Thank God my mother prayed for me.

Verse:
A augmentedA       D MajorD    A augmentedA
I read it on into the night,
   E MajorE       A augmentedA
And soon began to see the light
      D MajorD        A augmentedA
And now at last my soul is free.
           E MajorE    A augmentedA
Thank God my mother prayed for me
