A Mothers Prayer
[Inspired by Andy Litchfield –Singer & Songwriter]
In the middle of the night,
You can hear a mother’s prayer;
Has saved many a child;
Answers God’s angels bear.
Many a life’s been preserved
By a mother’s words;
Spoken to God in earnest,
As dawn touches the birds.
A mother’s prayer is spoken,
Motivated by God’s love;
Praying for her child’s safety,
Or for salvation from above.
Mothers’ prayers are sweet
To the ears of God on high,
For they are seasoned by heaven—
With love’s knot tied.
Mother’s prayers are essential,
When her child goes astray;
Chooses a life of sin
And gets lost along the way.
For the training she has given
Is not always heeded.
So through mother’s prayers
A return to God is seeded.
Mothers’ prayers are precious;
Each one is always heard.
Each word finds its way to heaven—
Answers these prayers do afford.
Many a child would never
Return to the arms of love,
If not for mother’s prayers
Sent in faith to God above.
