A mother cries in a worn out two-room house

Her only son is leaving, but she’s glad He’s getting out

He sits her down, says you deserve a better life

I’m gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die



chorus:

I’ll be back and everyone’ll know my name

Next time you lay eyes on me, things won’t be same

Rest assured every word I say is true

I’m going to a better place but I promise you

I’ll be back



He had a voice like no one had ever heard

People came from miles around, hung on to every word

But there were those He could not make believe

They called him names and laughed at Him and he said, wait and see



repeat chorus



They say he walked up that hill at Calvary

And not even the weight of the world could bring Him to his knees

His Father’s Son, He was born to pay the cost

And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross

He said:



repeat chorus
