While kneeling by her bedside on the cottage on the hill, My mother prayed her blessings on me there; She was talking then to Jesus while everything was still, And I heard my mother call my name in prayer.
Refrain: Yes, I heard my mother call my name in prayer, She was pouring out her heart to Jesus there; Then I gave my heart to Him and He saved my soul from sin, For He heard my mother call my name in prayer.
She was anxious for her boy to be just what he ought to be, And she asked the Lord to take him in His care; Just the words I can’t remember, but I know she prayed for me, For I heard my mother call my name in prayer.
How my heart was touched and tendered by the prayer that Mother prayed! I can almost see her form now kneeling there As she told her Lord and Savior just how far from Him I strayed, Yes, I heard my mother call my name in prayer.
Then I gave my heart to Jesus and am living now for Him, And someday I’ll go to meet Him in the air; For He heard my mother praying and has saved my soul from sin, Yes, He heard my mother call my name in prayer.
