Gods Golden Shore
mama took sick one day i remember
it got so bad she just could not go on
then mama she died on the 10th of september
and floated to heaven in the pretty beyond
she walks streets of gold and thru fields of flowers
one thing i know is that shes not alone
shes gone and left this old world of sorrows
she traded this life for her heavenly home
she left this old world of suffering and sorrow
then she climbed aboard that glory bound train
then in the twilight of the great new tomorrow
mama was seen there in gods great domain
shes walking those hills and shouting in glory
saying praise god im here to stay evermore
then she seemed to say oh family dont worry
im saving a place for you on heavens shore
tho mama is gone we never are slighted
because her memory is here evermore
one of these days we will all be united
up there with mama on gods golden shore
