Just a Few More Days Lyrics

Not so long ago one morning
Mother called me to her bed
Then she threw her arms around me
Listen to the words she said
Darling I am going to leave you
But you'll not be left alone
Jesus will protect and shield you
After he has carried me home

Just a few more days of sorrow
Just a few more days of pain
Just a few more days of cloudness
Just a few more days of rain
Then I'm going to live with Jesus
He has got a home prepared
Then I'll join the holy angels
Mother will be waiting there

Sometimes I am sorely tempted
Sometimes I am sorely tried
But to overcome I'm trying
Taking Jesus as my guide
Oh sometimes the path seems rugged
But it only makes me pray
And I know if I keep trying
I'll see my mother some sweet day
