My mother was all the whole world to me
D7 G7
She taught me of Jesus there at her knees
C F C
She taught me to love Him and taught me to pray
G7 C
And she told me from Jesus never to stray
F C
I started to wander from God’s precious way
D7 G7
The bright lights of sin had lured me away
C F C
But I still remember some things momma taught
G7 C
Of God’s loving grace with His blood we were bought
F C
Now she’s gone gone to her heavenly home
G7 C
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won
F C
My mother’s so heartsick to see me this way
D7 G7
I know pray to Jesus for her child each day
C F C
A proud mother prays until her dying day
G7 C
Dear God save my child show him the way
F C
Because momma prayed and God answers prayers
D7 G7
I’m saved and I’m lifted in his loving care
C F C
I know mother’s wearing the crown she has won
G7 C
She’s resting with Jesus her work here is done

Yes she’s gone gone to her heavenly home
G7 C
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won
