A Message to My Mother

The struggle for life would soon be over A young man on his deathbed lay Here is his head in dying anger And this what I heard him say Take this message to my mother It will fill her heart with joy Tell her that I've met my Saviour God has saved her wandering boy The tears and sorrow I have caused her How I wish I could repay But tell her I'll be waiting for her We'll meet in Heaven some glad day Take this message to my mother It will fill her heart with joy Tell her that I've met my Saviour God has saved her wandering boy How she cried when I left her I know it filled her heart with pain She said, "Son, please don't leave me For we may never meet again" Take this message to my mother It will fill her heart with joy Tell her that I've met my Saviour God has saved her wandering boy Years have pa*sed since that parting But I know she waits and prays Soon I'll cross that dark river Please let her know that I was saved Take this message to my mother It will fill her heart with joy Tell her that I've met my Saviour God has saved her wandering boy
