Mother’s Prayers Have Followed Me
I grieved my Lord from day to day,
I scorned His love so full and free,
And though I wandered far away,
My mother’s prayers have followed me.
Refrain
I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
To live my wasted life anew,
For mother’s prayers have followed me,
Have followed me, the whole world thro’.
O’er desert wild, o’er mountain high
A wanderer I chose to be,
A wretched soul condemned to die,
Still mother’s prayers have followed me.
Refrain
He turned my darkness into light,
This blessèd Christ of Calvary,
I’ll praise His name both day and night,
That mother’s prayers have followed me.
Refrain
Words: Lizzie DeArmond, 1912.
I am so blessed to have a Mother that prays and a Grandmother who prayed for me. A very Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers that come by here!
What a beautiful mom and such a meaningful hymn! Your mom reminds me of my mom’s friend – Mrs. Hoff – in Winnipeg – years and years ago now!
This is beautiful.
You ARE blessed, Ellen! How sweet that is!
Beautiful – both the words of the hymn and your mother’s smile.
