There is no love that can compare
To that which began with prayer.
A mother on her knees did plea
Interceding for her family
Oh how blessed we all have been
And to this there is no end
Each one of us now on our knees
Adding to our mothers pleas
Our children and their children too
Escape that wrath that will ensue.
Though we all have made mistakes
That one prayer has kept us safe
We all know that prayer of love
Went straight up to the throne above
The loving God my mother served
Saw a clean heart and observed
That mothers love so tender pure
Her reward a family safe and secure
