INTRO: Well Jesus was an only son As he walked up Calvry Hill His mother Mary walking beside Him In the path where His blood spilled Jesus was an only son In the hills of Nazareth As He lay reading the Psalms of David Well at His mother's feet Mother prayed sleep tight my child sleep well For I'll be at Your side And no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell Shall pierce your dreams this night INTRO In the garden at Gethsemane He prayed for the life He'd never live He beseeched His heavenily Father to remove The cup of death from His lips There's a loss that can never be replaced A destination that can never be reached A light you'll never find in another's face A sea whose distance cannot be breached INTRO Well Jesus kissed His mother's hands And whispered Mother still your tears For remember the soul of the universe Willed a world and it appeared OUTRO: VERSE CHORDS
