My mother was all the whole world to me
She taught me of Jesus there at her knees
She taught me to love Him and taught me to pray
And she told me from Jesus never to stray
I started to wander from God?s precious way
The bright lights of sin had lured me away
But I still remember some things momma taught
Of God?s loving grace with His blood we were bought
Now she?s gone gone to her heavenly home
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won
My mother?s so heartsick to see me this way
I know pray to Jesus for her child each day
A proud mother prays until her dying day
Dear God save my child show him the way
Because momma prayed and God answers prayers
I?m saved and I?m lifted in his loving care
I know mother?s wearing the crown she has won
She?s resting with Jesus her work here is done
Yes she?s gone gone to her heavenly home
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won
