Phillips, Craig & Dean - Midnight Oil Lyrics
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'
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
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

Phillips, Craig & Dean Midnight Oil Comments
i’m singing this song at church this sunday with my dad :)
This song blessed me in the days when I first had an encounter with the Lord (1998). This is my first time listening to it in many years.
Makes me think of my Mom in Heaven.
Great Song
OK, this is weird, but I had a dream last night that I met the guy who wrote this song.
This song brings back fond memories of my mother who went to be with Jesus back in February of 1997.
Thank u posting this my dad's mom went to be with Jesus and he
Misses her so much I always cry on this song .This song is so buatiful .I'm gonna put this when my mom is a old lady .😭😭😭😭
My precious mother's prayer's were so touching and full of faith. I miss hearing her pray so very much!!! My mother Olga is with our loving Heavenly Father. She had her ultimate healing!!!
We laid my mother in law to rest today 7/15/15. This song was played at her service and I have never heard a song that is so close to,the truth about a person. She lived a long life, 98 years, but she had such strong faith and love for Jesus and her family. She prayed for everyone every night and I know she is watching over all of us beside Jesus. One day we will be reunited. Rest in Peace Mrs Trinidad Garcia. We love you and you will be missed.
@Sylvia H Garcia my mother's been gone 10 years. I still play this song every year on the day she passed away..still miss her today
This song has changed my prayer life. Thanku.

How awesome is this song? Wow. God bless all those godly mothers who consistently pray for their families. Praise God.
I miss my mother so much. she raised 7 kids on her own. I can't wait to meet you in heaven someday.
Thank you Lord for giving me a caring and wonderful family!
Mom will not go to be with Jesus yet though..still gonna stay with us some more by God's grace.Amen!
Thank you mommy...love u and dad heaps!
Each time I hear this song it makes me realize just how lucky I am to have my mother in my life. It also makes me realize how much I love my mother. I love you so much Mom for everything you've taught me and everything you've unselfishly done for me and my siblings! Most of all, I love you because you love unconditionally.
