I Thought of You, Mother

I thought of you

mother

when tempt­ed to stray

When far from my Sav­ior I wan­dered away;

In all the rough plac­es it kept my life true

Because of your mes­sage

I’m pray­ing for you!

I thought of you

mo­ther

I thought of you

mo­ther

The love nev­er fail­ing

that fol­lowed your son;

I thought of you

mo­ther

I thought of you

mo­ther

My soul for the Sav­ior your pure life has won.

I thought of you

mot­her

tho’ long I have trod

The path­way that led me from home and from God;

Your trust nev­er fail­ing

your won­der­ful love

Are guid­ing my foot­steps to Je­sus ab­ove.

I thought of you

mo­ther—no more will I roam;

The an­gels are shout­ing

A sin­ner’s come home!

When safe I am stand­ing at Heav­en’s bright goal

I’ll look for the mo­ther whose faith saved my soul.
