Mama gave me to Jesus when I was a boy

                                                 G

But I had some wild seeds to sow

            F                          C                F

When almost everyone gave up on me

C                    G              C

Mama just wouldn’t let go

 

<CHORUS>

                     F                                   C               

          Thank God for a Mama who knew how to pray

                                                                G

          That Jesus would keep me from harm

               F                                C               F

          I went on my own when I went astray

                          C                      G                Am        F

          But she prayed me back into God’s arms

                          C                      G                 C

          Oh, she prayed me back into God’s arms

 

         C                               F               C

Now I have a message to send over yonder

                                      G

Jesus, please let Mama know

         F                                   C                F

I’m not where I headed, but I’m on my way

                   C                      G                C

Cause she showed me the right way to go
