And they surel
y stood the te
st
And now they'r

And are sleepi
ng on the savi
or's breast
[Verse 2]
They set a goo
d example for
me
And they taugh
t me how to pr
ay
Now I truly co
nverted
And walking on
the narrow
way
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I know that if
I can not mee
t them on high
Then how lonel
y I will be
For what good
is my journey
If I miss out
on eternity
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]

And they surel

And now they'r
e in bright gl

And are sleepi
