NTRO: ... (Notes to last line of first verse)
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 wand'ring boy.
The tears and sorrow I have caused her
How I wish I could re- pay
But tell her I'll be waiting for her
We'll meet in heaven some glad day. ...
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."
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.
