[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
