Bessie can still remember
|
Like it was yesterday
|
She watched her husband, Oliver
|
Kneel in the church and pray
|
That was what she had been hoping for
|
Still she was so surprised
|
Was that a glow upon his face
|
Or just the tears in her eyes
|
|
He’d always been a quiet man
|
Everyone saw the change
|
Reaching to take a stranger’s hand
|
Asking to know their name
|
Sunday mornings they’d be in church
|
And after the pastor prayed
|
Year after year with a voice so dear
|
Bessie would hear him say
|
|
CHORUS:
|
"This is where I met Jesus
|
I heard him calling my name
|
I was so glad to meet Him
|
He was so glad I came"
|
|
Oh, how she misses Oliver
|
Now that she lives alone
|
One night while they were sound asleep
|
The angels took her love home
|
Oh, how she cried, there were no goodbyes
|
It seemed he was gone so soon
|
Then one night she heard his voice
|
When she walked into their room
|
|
CHORUS (repeat)
|
|
Bessie…one day you’ll do the same
|
|
