[Intro]
  


[Verse 1]
             
I had a real g

             
ood mother and

 
 father
              
And they surel

            
y stood the te

st
              
And now they'r

            
e in bright gl


ory
             
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]

 father
              
And they surel

st
              
And now they'r

            
e in bright gl

And are sleepi
