There’s no happiness around you
Just sorrow and tears.
You wake up in the morning
Trying to hide your fears.
You keep fighting a losing battle
Your health is slowly diminishing
Your eyes are like rain puddles
Revealing all the painful sin.
I’ll tell Jesus about you
When I kneel down to pray.
Friend, I’ll tell Jesus about you
Each and every day.
You’re never alone
If you acknowledge the one
You’ll make it home
Stepping aboard the old ship of Zion.
I don’t want to go home
And know I’ll never see you again
I don’t want to leave you behind
Leave you burning in sin.
I’ll tell Jesus about you
When I kneel down to pray
Dad, I’ll tell Jesus about you
Each and every day.
You’ll have a mansion above
A street of just pure gold
You’ll sing the songs of glory
Knowing that you’ll be going home.
Become a willing vessel
And fight the weakened flesh
Don’t drift away from Calvary
Accept the blood and you will be blessed.
I’ll tell Jesus about you
When I kneel down to pray
Mom, I’ll tell Jesus about you
Each and everyday.
