1. Delightful days of youth were mine, no troubles then I knew;
No worries and no fuss of life in morning, night and noon.
I gave scant thought to anything, I lived just for my will;
But griefs for me would squeeze her heart, her eyes with tears would fill.
2. I walked the paths of my intents, I pushed God from my thoughts.
My mother's grief grew more each day—these griefs that I had brought.
But in her loving heart she prayed for me both night and day;
I heard her whispering my name in anguish as she prayed.
Refrain—
A mother's prayer for me
A mother's prayer for me
I heard my name within her prayer—
A mother's prayer for me.
3. In carefree days there came to me; the voice of love would talk:
"Behold, my son, lose not my words, becareful how you walk;
Flee all these sins, no evil do, and keep your spirit clean!"
I once more heard my name in pray'r as on her Lord she'd lean.
4. The loving heart that prayed for me, fell silent long ago.
Yet still her voice within my heart reminds me how to go:
"Flee ev'ry sin, no evil do, and live with God each day."
I heard my name within her pray'r, still echoing on its way.
Refrain—
5. And now I found there at the cross salvation for my soul;
I laid my sin at Jesus' feet and prayed He'd make me whole.
Now joy has come—Dawn's Holy Rays—salvation full and free
Christ shed upon my heart and mind by mother's prayer for me.
Refrain—
