VERSE 1
We[D]ll Jesus wa[G]s an only [D]son
As he walked up Calvary H[G]ill
[D]His mother Mary walking b[G]eside h[D]im
In the path where his [A]blood spi[D]lled
VERSE 2
Je[D]sus was an[G] only s[D]on
In the hills of Nazare[G]th
[D]As he lay reading the [G]Psalms of D[D]avid
Held at his mo[A]ther's fe[D]et
VERSE 3
Hi[D]s mother prayed sleep tight, my [G]child, sleep w[D]ell
For I'll be at your s[G]ide
[D]Let no shadow, no darkness, [G]no tolling b[D]ell
Shall pierce your dr[A]eams this n[D]ight
VERSE 4
In[D] the garden at[G] Gethsema[D]ne
He prayed for the life he'd never [G]live
[D]He beseeched his h[G]eavenly Fat[D]her
To remove the cup of death f[A]rom his l[D]ips
VERSE 5
No[D]w there's a loss that can [G]never be [D]replaced
A destination that can never be reac[G]hed
[D]A light you'll never find in a[G] mother's [D]face
The sea whose distance ca[A]nnot be brea[D]ched
[D] [G] [D] [A] [D]
VERSE 6
Well, Jesus kissed his[G] mother's [D]hands
And whispered, mother please still your [G]tears
[D]For remember the soul of the unive[D]rse
Willed a world and [A]it appe[D]ared.
