C                               C7                       
Lord would you tell Mama that tonight her prayers were 
F
answered
         C                                G
When the angels were rejoicing it was for me
         C              C7             F
From the path of sin my soul has been delivered
            C                G                C
Please tell Mama that by her prayers I now am free.

C                         C7                F
As a child I thought that Mom could walk on water
       C                               G
Though others had their heros, she was mine
          C               C7                  F
She never traveled far or gained much worldly honor
              C                   G         C   
But she could reach the throne of God at anytime.


Chorus

C                         C7               F 
With each passing day she prayed for my salvation
        C                                G
But her Christian ways just never fit my life
          C              C7                   F
Since she made it home I know that she's been waiting
             C                 G                   C       
Wish I could see her face when she gets the news tonight.


Chorus

F           C                G                C   F   C
Please tell Mama that by her prayers I now am free.
