If we never meet again this side of Heaven.
If I never see your smiling face,
I wonder will you pray for me.
Just like one christian for another
You pray for me and I’ll pray for you.
And we’ll share each others burdens
Just like good Christians alt to do.
There is a land up yonder
We’ll rise up in days like these.
And we’ll share each other’s problems
And I hope to meet you there.
Just like one christian for another
You pray for me and I’ll pray for you.
And we’ll share each others burdens
The way good Christians alt to do.
