Mother's Last Word To Her Son
I never can forget the day
When my dear mother did sweetly say
'You are leavin', my darling boy.
You always have been, your mothers' joy.'
Now as you leave in this world to roam,
You may not be able to get back home,
But remember Jesus who lives on high,
He's watching over you, with a mighty eye.
The world is so full of old sin and woe,
And many sorrows everywhere you go,
But remember Jesus who's everywhere,
If you get in trouble now, he'll meet you there.
If you bow down, before his face,
Entrusting him for, his saving grace now,
If you have a burden, he'll make them light
And he sure will guide you all in the right.
Now when I think of my mother dear,
How often she did try to cheer,
My wondering mind was going astray,
But saying son "accept the way".
When my dear mother did sweetly say
'You are leavin', my darling boy.
You always have been, your mothers' joy.'
Now as you leave in this world to roam,
You may not be able to get back home,
But remember Jesus who lives on high,
He's watching over you, with a mighty eye.
The world is so full of old sin and woe,
And many sorrows everywhere you go,
But remember Jesus who's everywhere,
If you get in trouble now, he'll meet you there.
If you bow down, before his face,
Entrusting him for, his saving grace now,
If you have a burden, he'll make them light
And he sure will guide you all in the right.
Now when I think of my mother dear,
How often she did try to cheer,
My wondering mind was going astray,
But saying son "accept the way".
