NTRO: G7 C ...C7 (Notes to last line of first verse)
CHORUS
F Take this message to my C mother
It will fill her heart with G7 joy
C Tell her that I've met my G7 Saviour
God has saved her wand'ring C boy.
C The tears and sorrow I have G7 caused her
How I wish I could re-C pay
But tell her I'll be waiting G7 for her
We'll meet in heaven some glad C day. ... C7
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."
CHORUS
Years have passed 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.
CHORUS
