Mama’s Prayer Lyrics

Back when I was doing time there’s a night I can’t forget
A mad man with a knife in hand tried to kill me while I slept
But somehow the knife missed its mark and I pinned the raging man
Somehow my mama’s prayers had worked again

One night while we were driving across the mighty Texas plains
A car pulled out with its headlights out head on into our lane
As Deanrow swerved and missed the car I felt a mighty hand
Somehow my mama’s prayers had worked again

Mama’s prayers were always with me through the battlefields of life
She prayed for me and said amen in the name of Jesus Christ
From the death house in San Quentin I walked away a better man
Somehow my mama’s prayers had worked again

Mama’s prayers were always with me through the battlefields of life
She prayed for me and said amen in the name of Jesus Christ
From the death house in San Quentin I walked away a better man
Somehow my mama’s prayers had worked again

Why Me Lord?

Conway Twitty

Why Me Lord

What have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I’ve known
What did I ever do
That was worth loving you
And the kindness you’ve shown.

Lord, help me Jesus,
I’ve wasted it
So help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know
That I’ve needed you
So help me Jesus,
My soul’s in your hand.

Tell me Lord,
If you think there’s a way
I can try to repay
All I’ve taken from you
Maybe Lord,
I can show someone else
What I’ve been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord, help me Jesus,
I’ve wasted it
So help me Jesus
I know what I am.
Now that I know
That I’ve needed you
So help me Jesus,
My soul’s in your hand.

Lord, help me Jesus,
I’ve wasted it
So help me Jesus
I know what I am
Now that I know
That I’ve need you
So help me Jesus,
My soul’s in your hand.

My soul’s in your hand…

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Randy Travis

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk
Dear Lord, close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toils and snares
If I falter Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er
And time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom dear Lord, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
