Charley Pride - Jesus Is Your Saviour, Child lyrics
[Charley Pride - Jesus Is Your Saviour, Child lyrics]
Back home in Mississippi we were
Taught about the Lord
His ways were taught on mama's knee
Good life was his reward
We worked from sun to sundown
Most each and every day
And when we'd got home hot
And hungry and tired
Mama kept us all to pray
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child
Don't ever
Let Him go put your life in His direction
You will reap just what
You sow praise His name and praise His glory
It was for
Us that He died he will lead us into heaven
If we walk by His side"
Now many times my mind goes back
And I am feelin' low
To the good old days on mama's
Knee and the times we
Used to know how she taught us from the good
Book when we might have gone
Astray and she'd hold us
In her lovin' arms and teach us all to pray
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child
Don't ever
Let Him go put your life in His direction
You will reap just what
You sow praise His name and praise His glory
It was for
Us that He died he will lead us into heaven
If we walk by His side
He will lead us into heave
If we walk by His side"
Taught about the Lord
His ways were taught on mama's knee
Good life was his reward
We worked from sun to sundown
Most each and every day
And when we'd got home hot
And hungry and tired
Mama kept us all to pray
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child
Don't ever
Let Him go put your life in His direction
You will reap just what
You sow praise His name and praise His glory
It was for
Us that He died he will lead us into heaven
If we walk by His side"
Now many times my mind goes back
And I am feelin' low
To the good old days on mama's
Knee and the times we
Used to know how she taught us from the good
Book when we might have gone
Astray and she'd hold us
In her lovin' arms and teach us all to pray
And she said: "Jesus is your Savior, child
Don't ever
Let Him go put your life in His direction
You will reap just what
You sow praise His name and praise His glory
It was for
Us that He died he will lead us into heaven
If we walk by His side
He will lead us into heave
If we walk by His side"
