My mother was all the whole world to me 

                        D7           G7 
She taught me of Jesus  there at her knees 

C                             F            C 
She taught me to love Him and taught me to pray 

                            G7       C 
And she told me from Jesus  never to stray 

  
                         F              C 
I started to wander from God’s precious way 

                          D7           G7 
The bright lights of sin  had lured me away 

C                         F            C 
But I still remember some things momma taught 

                               G7            C 
Of God’s loving grace with His blood we were bought 
  
  
          F                          C 
Now she’s gone gone  to her heavenly home 

                       G7            C 
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won 

  
                            F           C 
My mother’s so heartsick to see me this way 

                          D7             G7 
I know pray to Jesus  for her child each day 

C                    F               C 
A proud mother prays until her dying day 

                        G7           C 
Dear God save my child  show him the way 

  
                         F           C 
Because momma prayed and God answers prayers 

                         D7            G7 
I’m saved and I’m lifted in his loving care 

C                           F             C 
I know mother’s wearing the crown she has won 

                             G7           C 
She’s resting with Jesus her work here is done 

  
          F                          C 
Yes she’s gone gone  to her heavenly home 

                       G7            C 
Gone home to Jesus her crown she has won
