if i could hear my mother

Singer:staple singers, the

how sweet and happy seem

those days of which i dream

when memory recalls them now and then

and with what rapture sweet

my weary heart would beat

if i could hear my mother pray again

if i could only hear my mother pray again

if i could hear her tender voice again

how happy i would be

would mean so much to me

if i could hear my mother pray again

she used to pray that i

on jesus would rely

and always walked the shining gospel way

so trusting in his love i seek that home above

where i shall meet my mother some glad day

if i could only hear my mother pray again

if i could hear her tender voice again

how happy i would be

would mean so much to me

if i could hear my mother pray again
