Intro Bm Gbm G Bm A
      D             G
Mama always got up early

        D                        Em
And she never went to bed 'til late

        A
Yet, I never heard her complaining

            G         A
About her family of eight

            Bm
There were times she should have been

  Gbm
sleeping

      G                     D
But, late in the midnight hour

          Em
She'd get down on her knees

               D
And you could hear her say

        G
"Lord, fill them with Your power"

Bm                      Gbm
Mama like to burn the midnight oil

 G            A        D
Down on her knees in prayer

        Bm                G
If you asked her why she did it

              Em                 A
She said she did it 'cause she cared

 D                          Gbm
Mama knew that Jesus was waiting

           G                    D
When she knelt by her rocking chair

         Em                 D
Oh, I'm glad my Mama was willing

             G        A     Bm      Gbm  F
To burn the midnight oil in prayer

           Bb                Em
Now Mama's gone to be with Jesus

I've got a family of my own

Yet whenever the clock strikes midnight

           Cm          Ab
You will find me all alone

            Cm                    Gm
That's when I start to call upon Jesus

         Ab              Eb
For His wisdom and His power

           Fm
'Cause it seems that He loves

To hear a Daddy's prayer

Even in the midnight hour

Oh, I'm glad my Mama was willing

             Ab       Bb      Eb
To burn the midnight oil in prayer

  Ab
Years from now
When my grown little boy
        Bb
Has a family of his own

          Fm
Will he kneel down and pray

          Eb
When the hour gets late

And pass the legacy on
