One day in an old country church house

I heard mother pray for me there

She walked down the aisle there toward me

The tears then came to her eyes
         G                     C
She said son I’ve been praying for you
    G            D7            G
For fear that in sin you might die

My soul has been saved by the Master

On the dark road of sin and despair
