Land of the Dying

I remember the night Mother left us
We stood by the side of her bed
It was strange how it all seemed so peaceful
When she looked at the family and said-

I am leaving the land of dying
To lay hold on E-ternal life
And the moment you see me departing
You will know I have safely arrived Instrumental

She taught me of time and its season
How all things in life come and go
Like the leaves that are green in the springtime
Fade away with the first falling snow CHORUS

The words that she said linger with me
So near to my heart every day
And when it's my time to cross over
Her sweet words will show me the way
