Sorry I Never Knew You
sorry i never knew you jim ed brown 1st verse last night as i lay
sleeping a dream came to me i dreamed
about the end of time, about enternity.
i saw a million sinners fall on their knees to pray
the lord he sadly shook his head and this i heard him say.
sorry i never knew you,
i find no record of your birth sorry i never knew
you go and serve the one that you have served before.
2nd verse i thought the time had
fully come when i could stand a thrive,
i told the lord that i had been a christian all the while,
so thru his book,
he took a look,
and sadly shook his head.
then he placed me over on his left and this i heard him say.
sorry i never knew you,
i find no record of your birth, sorry i never knew you,
go and serve the one that you served down on earth.
3rd verse there were my wife and children,
i heard their loving voice,
they must have been so happy oh how they did rejoice,
their robes of white around them, their faces all aglow,
my little girl looked over at me and this i heard her say...
chours daddy we can'
t go with you,
we must dwell in the joy of our lord,
sorry for we still love you,
but you'
ll never be our daddy anymore.
4th verse now when i had awakened, the tears were in my eyes,
and looking all around me,
and there to my surprise there were my loving babies i knew it was a
dream and down beside that bed of
mine you should have heard me scream.
chours father which art in heaven,
i know thou gave thine only son,
father please forgive me, for i want to be ready when you come,
sleeping a dream came to me i dreamed
about the end of time, about enternity.
i saw a million sinners fall on their knees to pray
the lord he sadly shook his head and this i heard him say.
sorry i never knew you,
i find no record of your birth sorry i never knew
you go and serve the one that you have served before.
2nd verse i thought the time had
