Not long ago I was thinking of home And I wondered if momma was there all alone I thought I’d drop by as I had before But the sound from within made me stop at the door
She was praying a sound that the world seldom hears Praying her words were pleading and clear The sound of her voice as she spoke my name Brought tears to my eyes my heart filled with shame She was praying praying for someone like me
Walking one night I felt so alone My heart was so heavy from the trouble I’ve known I hadn’t noticed a church that was near Till the sound from within seem to fill the air
They were praying a sound that the world seldom hears Praying the children that God loves so dear Outside in the darkness I could not see But I could picture them down on their knees Praying praying for someone like me
