Mac Wiseman - Tell Mother Ill Be There

      [Verse 1]
G                             C            A7
When I was but a little child how well I recollect
D7                                   G         D7
How I would grieve my mother with my folly and neglect
G                                   C                 A7
And now that she has gone to Heaven I miss her tender care
D7                              G
O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there

[Chorus]
 G                          C             G
Tell mother I’ll be there in answer to her prayer
     D7                            G
This message blessed Savior to her bear
                          C                         G
Tell mother I’ll be there heaven’s joys with her to share
D7                                 G
Yes tell my darling mother I’ll be there

[Verse 2]
 G                                 C               A7
Though I was often wayward she was always kind and good
D7                               G                   D7
So patient gentle loving when my ways were rough and rude
G                                         C              A7
My childhood grief’s and trials she would gladly with me share
D7                              G
O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there

[Chorus]
 G                          C             G
Tell mother I’ll be there in answer to her prayer
     D7                            G
This message blessed Savior to her bear
                          C                         G
Tell mother I’ll be there heaven’s joys with her to share
D7                                 G
Yes tell my darling mother I’ll be there

[Verse 3]
 G                           C                  A7
One day a message came to me it bade me quickly come
D7                               G               D7
If I would see my mother ere the Savior took her home
G                                  C            A7
I promised her before she died for heaven to prepare
D7                              G
O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there

[Chorus]
                            C             G
Tell mother I’ll be there in answer to her prayer
     D7                            G
This message blessed Savior to her bear
                          C                         G
Tell mother I’ll be there heaven’s joys with her to share
D7                                 G
Yes tell my darling mother I’ll be there
