‘Shake Hands with Mother Again’
Published 9:08am Wednesday, February 13, 2013Shake Hands with Mother Again
If I should be living when Jesus comes
and should know the day and the hour;
I’d like to be standing at Mother’s tomb
when Jesus comes in His pow’r.
CHORUS
‘Twill be a wonderful happy day,
up there on the golden strand;
when I can hear Jesus my Savior say,
“Shake hands with Mother again.”
I’d like to say “Mother, this is your boy,
you left when you went away;
and now, my dear Mother, it gives me great joy
to see you again today.”
There’s coming a time when I can go home,
to meet my loved ones up there;
where I can see Jesus upon His throne,
in that bright city so fair.
There’ll be no more sorrow or pain to bear,
in that home beyond the sky;
a glorious thought when we all get there,
we never will say “goodbye.”
CHORUS
‘Twill be a wonderful happy day,
up there on the golden strand;
when I can hear Jesus my Savior say,
“Shake hands with Mother again.”
