IN MEMORY OF OUR MOTHER
God sent his holy angles
to carry my mother away,
while we sat and held her hand,
as on her bed she lay.
I prayed for god to help her,
and while I was in prayer,
she slipped away peacefully into the night,
for god was waiting there.
I believe he took her by the hand
as she neared heaven light,
I know that mother is resting now,
over on the other side.
Her suffering is behind her,
her tears have been wiped away.
Her toils and struggles are over,
for she is at home to stay.
I know I’ll miss my mother,
no one can take her place
I’ll share her mansion someday,
when I finish my earthly stay.
Until the time when he calls me,
I’ll remember mother dear,
and all things she taught me
while she was living here.
Mother will meet at heaven’s gate,
I know she’ll be waiting for me.
We’ll sing and rejoice together
in heaven for all eternity.
