Story behind the song
I was a wild child who took chances with my life without realizing the dangerous situations I put myself into because of my actions. Thought I was invincible, thought I could take care of myself and was only interested in having fun. But there were many situations I got myself into because of my lifestyle choices that had the potential of being life threatening. It wasn't until years later that I found out that all the time I was off doing my own thing, Mom was home praying God would put a hedge of protection around her children to keep us safe from danger. Thank God for our sweet mother's and father's. I consider myself blessed to have had a mother(and dad) who prayed for me, my brother's and everyone else's safety, to a forgiving Lord who was and is always there for us, even when we let Him down.
Lyrics
“MAMA PRAYED Words, melody & music by: Olivia Francis 2007 BMI When I was young and crazy, blinded by this world Thought I knew it all, what a silly girl Couldn’t see the road before me, full of pitfalls and heartache And I believe I’m only here today because God listened, when my Mama prayed CHORUS 1: She prayed every day the Lord would protect Her kids from falling victim to life’s sinfulness She raised us up to Heaven on praise and worship wings For she knew the power of love, and prayer…….changes things Now my sons are going through the same trials I faced And I do my level best, to help them find their way I know somehow they’ll make it, with God’s Grace and lots of faith ‘Cause I know from past experience the Lord listens, Yes He listens when a mama prays CHORUS: Mama prayed every day the Lord would protect Her kids from falling victim to life’s sinfulness She raised us up to Heaven on praise and worship wings For she knew the power of precious love, ….and prayer changes things CHORUS 2: Now every day I pray the Lord will protect My kids from falling victim to life’s sinfulness I lift them up to Heaven on praise and worship wings For I learned the power of love and prayer changes things A mama’s love and the power of prayer changes Yeah! Changes…everything We love you Mama, thank you so much For everything you’ve done to raise us right We could never repay you for all those years of unselfish love and sacrifice And we’ll always be grateful the rest of our days For the Lord, for you and every prayer you ever prayed We’re here today because the Lord listens, I know He listened, when our mama prayed I know He listens; yes He does, when our mama’s pray!
