[G]One day in an old country [C]church house
[G]I heard mother pray for me [D7]there
[G]She prayed for the Savior to [C]guide me
[G]To the beautiful [D7]altar of [G]prayer
She walked down the aisle there [C]toward me
[G]The tears then came to her [D7]eyes
[G]She said son I´ve been praying [C]for you
[G]For fear that in [D7]sin you might [G]die
Oh the [C]beautiful altar of [G]prayer
I [A7]know mother prayed for me [D7]there
[G]She prayed for the Savior to [C]guide me
[G]To the beautiful [D7]altar of [G]prayer
My soul has been saved by the [C]Master
[G]On the dark road of sin and des[D7]pair
[G]And I´m thankful to my dear loving [C]mother
[G]And the beautiful [D7]altar of [G]prayer
Oh the [C]beautiful altar of [G]prayer
I [A7]know mother prayed for me [D7]there
[G]She prayed for the Savior to [C]guide me
[G]To the beautiful [D7]altar of [G]prayer
She prayed for the Savior to [C]guide me
[G]To the beautiful [D7]altar of [G]prayer

On the dark road of sin and despair
And I´m thankful to my dear loving mother
