Mothers Last Word To Her Son

Mother's Last Word To Her Son - Washington Phillips

I never can forget the day

When my dear mother did sweetly say

You are leaving

My darling boy

You always have been your mothers joy

Now as you leave in this world to roam

You may not be able to get back home

But remember Jesus who lives on high

He's watching over you with a mighty eye

The world is so full of old sin and woe

And many sorrows everywhere you go

But remember Jesus who's everywhere

If you get in trouble now

He'll meet you there

If you bow down before his face

Entrusting him for his saving grace now

If you have a burden

He'll make them light

And he sure will guide you all in the right

Now when I think of my mother dear

How often she did try to cheer

My wondering mind was going astray

But saying son accept the way
