Doug York

I write all kinds of music from gospel to country, comedy to childrens songs as well as instrumentals. I play guitar (acoustic and lead) and sing with a count

I was born in the mid 1950's, and began playing guitar when I was 14 years old. I have played with many of the early (70's & 80's)country singers. I wrote my first song when I was 15 and now have over 120, from gospel to country. I love the challenge of writing a song that people can relate to, yet to say it in a brand new way. I play with a local group called Common Bond and jam whenever I can find some others pickers.

Story behind the song

I wrote this song as an appreciation to my mother for her dedication to the Lord and her unwavering faith that I could be saved.  It was through those prayers that God heard about me and added me to His list of ones not to let up on until I was one of His own. I sang this many times to my mother before she passed away, and I was always so thankful to the Lord for giving me this so I could give it to her.

Lyrics

Thank you Mama

1.
I know it's not by chance that I'm still here,
It's because Jesus Christ still answers prayers.
I thought I had my whole life planned,
But Jesus took command.
And I'm thankful someone loved me enough to care.


Chorus

Thank you Mama, for those times on bended knees,
I love you Mama, 'cause you cared so much for me.
To shed all those tears, to say all those prayers.
And you kept your faith in Jesus, that I could be set free.


2.

I had put my trust in man too many times,
And he almost destroyed this life of mine.
But fervent prayer availeth much,
And my mother stayed in touch,
With sweet Jesus until He eased my troubled mind.
