I Heard My Mother Call My Name In Prayer

Bb  F  Bb

 [Verse 1]

      Bb
While kneeling by her bedside in a
Eb             Bb
cottage on the hill
   Bb
My mother prayed her blessings on me
F7
there
        Bb
She was talking there to Jesus while
Eb             Bb
everything was still
      Bb              F
and I heard my mother call my name in
Bb
prayer

[chorus]

         Eb
   Yes I heard my mother call my name
   Bb
in prayer
           C              C7
   She was pourin out her heart to
      F     F7
Jesus there
          Bb
   Then I gave my heart to Him and He
Eb                 Bb
saved my soul from sin
         Bb              F
   Yes I heard my mother call my name
    Bb
in prayer

[Verse 2]

        Bb
She was anxious for her boy to be just
Eb               Bb
what he ought to be
        Bb
And she asked the Lord
                   F7
to take him in his care
         Bb
Just the words I can't remember
      Eb                  Bb
but I know she prayed for me
      Bb              F
For I heard my mother call my name in
Bb
prayer

[chorus]

         Eb
   Yes I heard my mother call my name
   Bb
in prayer
           C              C7
   She was pourin out her heart to
      F     F7
Jesus there
          Bb
   Then I gave my heart to Him and He
Eb                 Bb
saved my soul from sin
         Bb              F
   Yes I heard my mother call my name
    Bb
in prayer

[Verse 3]

     Bb
So I gave my heart to Jesus and I'm
Eb            Bb
livin now for him
    Bb
And someday I'll go and meet him in
    F
the air
       Bb
For he heard my mother praying and he
Eb                 Bb
saved my soul from sin
       Bb              F
Yes he heard my mother call my name in
Bb
prayer
