Midnight Oil 歌詞
Midnight Oil - Phillips, Craig & Dean
Mama always got up early
And she never went to bed 'til late
Yet I never heard her complainin'
About her family of eight
There were times she should have been sleepin'
But late in the midnight hour
She'd get down on her knees
And you could hear her say
Lord fill them will your power
Mama like to burn the midnight oil
Down on her knees in prayer
If you asked why she did it
She said she did it care she cared
Mama knew the Jesus are waiting
When she knelt by her rocking chair
Oh I'm glad my mama was willin'
To burn the midnight oil
In prayer
Now mama's gone to be with Jesus
I've got a family of my own
Yet whenever the clock strikes midnight
You will find me all alone
That's when I start to call upon Jesus
For his wisdom and his power
'Cause it seems that he loves
To hear a daddy's prayer
Even in the midnight hour
Mama like to burn the midnight oil
Down on her knees in prayer
If you asked why she did it
She said she did it care she cared
Mama knew the Jesus are waiting
When she knelt by her rocking chair
Oh I'm glad my mama was willin'
To burn the midnight oil in prayer
Years from now when my grown little boy
Has a family of his own
Will he kneel down and pray
When the hour gets late
And pass the legacy on
Mama like to burn the midnight oil
Down on her knees in prayer
If you asked why she did it
She said she did it care she cared
Mama knew the Jesus are waiting
When she knelt by her rocking chair
Oh I'm glad my mama was willin'
To burn the midnight oil
In prayer
Now there's a daddy who's willing
To burn the midnight oil
In prayer
