Mother called her child to her dying bed
She softly whispered, these are the words she said
"Child, I'm goin' away, meet me at the Coming Day
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm going to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
The doctors has been writin', no good they has done
Jesus Christ, the Physicianer, he is the only one
Can soften your dying bed, and these are the words she said
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm born to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm born to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"We has but a few days on Earth, and it is full of sin
Jesus plainly tells you, you must be borned again
While the blood run warm in your veins, now is the time to refrain
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm going to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm born to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
"Says, I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God
Mother told her child, "Child, I'm born to die
I'm gonna leave you in the hands of my God"
