Christian Poetry: My Mother’s Prayer: A Son’s Eternal Life Through His Mother’s Faith

by Admin · Published November 4, 2023 · Updated November 4, 2023

My Mother’s Prayer is a Christian Hymn that reads as poetry so I quoted it here. Judson W. Van DeVenter’s hymn”My Mother’s Prayer” is a heartwarming story of a man who remembers his mother’s prayer for him to be saved by God and receive eternal life. On the day he remembers his mother’s prayer, he gets saved (baptized) and begins his journey to eternal life. This poem is a reminder that our mothers’ (parents or guardians) prayers are powerful and that God answers them. Pray for others as well especially the motherless and fatherlesss.

This hymn was written by Judson W. Van DeVenter, born 15 December 1855 on a farm near the village of Dundee, Michigan. He was educated in the country and village schools, and at Hillsdale College. He later moved to St. Petersburg, Florida. He wrote about 100 hymns.

James 1:27 KJV “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

My Mother’s Prayer:

1 I never can forget the day
I heard my mother kindly say,
“You’re leaving now my tender care;
Remember, child, your mother’s prayer.”

Refrain:
Whene’er I think of her so dear,
I feel her angel spirit near;
A voice comes floating on the air,
Reminding me of mother’s prayer.

2 I never can forget the voice
That always made my heart rejoice;
Though I have wandered God knows where,
Still I remember mother’s prayer. [Refrain]

3 Though years have gone, I can’t forget
Those words of love- I hear them yet;
I see her by the old arm chair,
My mother dear, in humble prayer. [Refrain]

4 I never can forget the hour
I felt the Savior’s cleansing power;
My sin and guilt He canceled there,
’Twas there He answered mother’s prayer.
Oh, praise the Lord for saving grace!
We’ll meet up yonder face to face,
The home above together share,
In answer to my mother’s prayer.
Amen.
