Lyrics George Jones - If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
Recorded by George Jones
Written by James Rowe and James W. Vaughn

G C G
How sweet and happy seemed those days of which I dream
A7 D7
When memory recalls them now and then
G C G
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat
D7 G
If I could hear my mother pray again

C G
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
A7 D7
And always walk the shining gospel way
G C G
So trusting in His love I'll seek that home above
D7 G
For I shall meet my mother some glad day

C G
If I could hear my mother pray again
A7 D7
If I could hear her tender voice as then
#G C G
How happy I would be with who means so much to me
D7 G
If I could hear my mother pray again

C G
Within the old home place her patient smiling face
A7 D7
Was always spreading comfort hope and cheer
G C G
And when she used to sing to her Eternal King
D7 G
It was the songs the angels loved to hear

C G
Her work on earth is done the life crown has been won
A7 D7
And she will be at rest with Him above
G C G
And some glad morning she I know will welcome me
D7 G
To that eternal home of peace and love

Repeat #3
