Mmmhm hmmm
Mmm hmmm hmm

I thank you Lord, mama used to pray for me
I thank you Lord, mama was there for me
Oh yes I thank you Lord (Oh Lord), oh you made a way for me
And yes I thank you Lord, oh you delivered me
And many times I'm on the wayside and I feel so low
And many times I feel like giving up but I got places to go
Hey I thank you Lord, mama used to pray for me
Oh I thank you Lord, mama was there for me
Thank the Lord (Oh), you made a way for me (yes you did)
And then I thank you Lord. Hey! You delivered me
I man a say
We did have it hard and still it coulda harder
Mi coulda still nuh know mi father
Like so much youth
Mi coulda nuh have no manners, bright and out of order
And mi mother coulda say she couldn't bother
I thank you Lord, mama used to pray for me
I thank you Lord, mama was there for me
Oh yes I thank you Lord (Oh Lord), oh you made a way for me
And yes I thank you Lord, oh you delivered me
You would rock me in your bosom and pray
Pray, night and day
And all my worries, all my fears would fade away, fade away
Hey I thank you Lord, mama used to pray for me
Oh I thank you Lord, mama was there for me
Thank the Lord, (Oh) you made a way for me (yes you did)
And then I thank you Lord. Hey! You delivered me
