“POWER OF A MOTHER’S PRAYER”

There’s Power In A Mother’s Prayer,
No evil can take a stand,
Her simple faith and sacrifice,
More love than grains of sand;

Her voice will chase all fears away,
And bring healing to any sore,
Prayer to lift a spirit depressed,
That’s what she was created for!

Her prayers cradling in comfort,
Caressing and protecting her seed,
Cleansing injured wounds with her tears,
For meeting every need;

Yes, the Power of a Mother’s Prayer,
Will surround her world in love,
For her life is a fragrant offering,
Blessed from God above.
