There's a mem'ry that my heart holds very close and dear
It comes to mind when life turns to despair
It's a mem'ry of my Mother from when I was just a child
I can hear her gentle voice call out in prayer

(Chorus)
She folded up her hands and dropped down to her knees
God was surely listening to Mother's heartfelt pleas
Believing in miracles, she never was afraid,
And all the angels listened when Mother prayed

I can still remember well the stories she could tell
About how God fulfilled her needs each day
And I could feel the spirit that was filling up the room
Each time that Mother bowed her head to pray

(Chorus)
She folded up her hands and dropped down to her knees
God was surely listening to Mother's heartfelt pleas
Believing in miracles, she never was afraid,
And all the angels listened when Mother prayed

(Bridge)
Mother taught me well
I talk to God each day
But I've never known another
Who prayed like my mother

Mother built her life on faith, she never knew regret
And Jesus was her shelter in a storm
Now Mother's wearing angel wings but I still hear her voice
Saying "Trust the Lord; He'll keep you safe from harm"

(Chorus)
She folded up her hands and dropped down to her knees
God was surely listening to Mother's heartfelt pleas
Believing in miracles, she never was afraid,
And all the angels listened when Mother prayed
