Midnight Oil Lyrics - 3 Album Collection - Phillips Craig And 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"

(chorus) 

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 

Now Mama always talked to Jesus 

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

(chorus) 

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 

(chorus) 

Cause now there's a Daddy who's willing 

To burn the midnight oil in prayer
