Album: The Best of Mike and Kelly Bowling
I stood by her bedside
And held to her hand
With heaven just one breath away
"Child, you must promise
You'll meet me up yonder
Where life will not fade or decay"
She said "I hear angels
With their welcome song
And I know that my parting is nigh"
With a smile on her face
And a soft gentle voice
I heard my sweet mother reply
"I'll not fear the crossing
For it leads me home
I'll lay down these burdens
That I've carried so long
Death will be conquered
And we'll sing a new song
And I'll not fear the crossing
For it leads me home"
She taught me of Jesus
When I was a child
Her lifestyle showed me the way
When life brought us heartaches
And burdens got heavy
All night you could hear mother pray
As her health was failing
And steps became slow
Her faith never weakened or swayed
She said "Child, don't worry
It's part of the journey
We'll all have to make it someday"
"I'll not fear the crossing
For it leads me home
I'll lay down these burdens
That I've carried so long
Death will be conquered
And we'll sing a new song
I'll not fear the crossing
For it leads me home"
Oh, and death will be conquered
And we'll sing a new song
I'll not fear the crossing
For it leads me home"
