the struggle for life would soon be over a young man on his death bed lay he raised his head in dying anger and this is what i heard him say take this message to my mother it will fill her heart with joy tell her that i ve met my savior god has saved her wandering boy the tears and sorrow i have caused her how i wish i could repay 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
