Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

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
