I’m Still Living on Mother’s Prayer

[Verse 1]
I left home when I was very young
I had a mean, old race to run
So many sorrows in this old world
I had to share, oh Lord

[Chorus]
Oh, good things I’ve done are mighty few
Mother’s prayer, child, has brought me through
And now I’m living on mother’s
My mother’s prayer

[Repeat throughout song:]
(Living on mother’s prayer, living on mother’s prayer)

[Verse 2]
I remember, day I first left home
My heart was heavy, I had to moan
I was leaving my best friend
She was my only friend, oh yes

[Chorus]
Now as the tears fill my mother’s eyes
I heard her say, Lord, take carе of my child
And now I’m living on mother’s
My mother’s prayer, oh yеah

[Verse 3]
Oh, yes I’m living on mother’s prayer
Though I haven’t been very good
Woah-oh-oh-oh, I’m living on mother’s prayer
Haven’t lived just like I should

[Chorus]
Though God’s mercy has followed me
And his grace has set me free
And now I’m living on mother’s prayer
Living on mother’s prayer
