Mother's prayers have followed me

I grieved my Lord from day to day,
I scorned His love so full and free,
And though I wandered far away,
My mother�s prayers have followed me.
- Refrain:
  I�m coming home, I�m coming home,
  To live my wasted life anew,
  For mother�s prayers have followed me,
  Have followed me the whole world through.
O�er desert wild, o�er mountain high,
A wanderer I chose to be;
A wretched soul, condemned to die,
Still mother�s prayers have followed me.
He turned my darkness into light,
This blessed Christ of Calvary!
I�ll praise His name both day and night,
That mother�s prayers have followed me.
