A mother cries in a worn out two-room house |
|
Her only son is leaving, but she's glad He's getting out |
|
He sits her down, says you deserve a better life |
|
I'm gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die |
|
chorus: |
|
I'll be back and everyone'll know my name |
|
Next time you lay eyes on me, things won't be same |
|
Rest assured every word I say is true |
|
I'm going to a better place but I promise you |
|
I'll be back |
|
He had a voice like no one had ever heard |
|
People came from miles around, hung on to every word |
|
But there were those He could not make believe |
|
They called him names and laughed at Him and he said, wait and see |
|
repeat chorus |
|
They say he walked up that hill at Calvary |
|
And not even the weight of the world could bring Him to his knees |
|
His Father's Son, He was born to pay the cost |
|
And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross |
|
He said: |
|
repeat chorus |
