| Another World to Sing in |
|
In an old Country kitchen, my mother would, quite often, sing As she carried, from stove to table, the food she had to bring. She'd sing as she sat a-sewing the clothes we had to wear. She'd sing songs of blessings, "Oh, Savior, sure'n keep our care." She'd hum down the cotton row, 'til she reached the very end, Then turn and, a-coming back, she'd start a-singing, again. She sang the songs of glory unto our Lord, above, Reaching far down into her heart; giving to Him her love. Mama would hug and kiss us, telling of another world to be; Of a Savior, called Jesus, whom she prayed we'd one day see. "Oh, Glory," she sang, in tenor, "my Lord will soon come for me. But, there's another world to sing in, with angels ~ you'll see." She'd ride in a wagon, to church, on a Sunday, in a choir to sing And, she'd pray, "Oh Savior, sweet blessings, please bring." I'd hear her at the old rub board, a-singing, once again. I'd ask her why and she said, "Glorify Jesus and avoid all sin." She was my little mother and a hard life she did see. But, she told us to keep the hope of yonder, way beyond the sea. Said, "There's more than one world to sing in, sure'n 'tis true, And I'll be a waitin' there, with Jesus, to gladly welcome all of you." She's there, now, a singing, in her tenor voice, so sweet and clear. We all miss her so much. Sometimes, we think we hear ... Her voice, as she sits a-sewing; sweet melodies of her soft love. So, there really must be another world to sing in, up there above. Dedicated to Julie Mullins Duncan and Claudia Williams Walker, The two best mothers I ever knew |
