F                       C                  
Take this message to my mother 
                            G7             
It will fill her heart with joy 
C                         G7
Tell her that I've met my Saviour 
                           C              
God has saved her wanderin' boy 
 
    C                       G7              
The tears and sorrow I have caused her 
                     C                    
How I wish I could repay   
                             G7          
But tell her I'll be waiting for her 
                               C   C7        
We'll meet in heaven some glad day

C                    G7                     
How she cried when I left her 
                                C         
I know it filled her heart with pain 
                                   G      
She said, "Son, please don't leave me 
                      C       C7            
For we may never meet again."

C                           G7              
Year have passed since that parting 
                         C                
But I know she waits and prays
                          G                
Soon I'll cross that dark river 
                               C     C7     
Please let her know that I was saved
