One day while in a country church I saw a scene so grand, A scene that touched me oh so deep within. A little girl was kneeling there, her bible in her hand; Her little hands were placed beneath her chin. Dear God I humbly kneel in prayer, I’m just a child you know; I’d like to make just one request today. I’d like to see my daddy saved before this meeting’s through, So please dear God help daddy find his way. Before my mother passed away she took me by the hand, With tear filled eyes she hold me in her arms. Her trembling voice was almost gone and then I heard her say, Dear God please keep my baby safe from harm. And then she prayed for daddy, that someday he would change; She said she hoped we’d meet again someday. I’ve brought him here today dear God and now it’s up to you, I’ve never seen my daddy kneel and pray. He sat there on that back seat, his head was bowed in shame; His tear filled eyes just staring at the floor. And then there was a silence, all heads were bowed in prayer; I felt the power of God come through that door. He raised his face toward heaven, and then there was a change; He left that seat and down the isle he ran. He knelt down by his daughter, and then he cried aloud; Forgive me God I’ve been a wicked man. And then they prayed together, down on their knees that night; Before they laid their bodies down to rest. They thanked the Lord for everything and then I heard her say, Thank you God for granting my request.

Sang this song many many years ago one EEasterfor my then straying dad. My mom played the piano while my two older brothers sang with me. I did the main singing. We sang it in an old country church in Conway, south Carolina. I will never forget it. To bad it didn't sink in to my dads head that this song was about and for him.

I love this song. My Moma sang it for/to me a lot because I requested the song a lot.

Yes, she had many solos. I Need No Mansion is one of her great solo features.
