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.

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.

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.
