Back when he was 8 years old, he fell while climbing a tree
The doctor said this broken are will need some surgery
The little boy was frightened, and so his mother said a prayer
He said mom, sometimes I try to pray, but I can’t when I get scared
And then he mother just said this…
When you’re not sure how to pray, just find an empty chair, and think of Jesus there
And talk to him just like a friend who’s always there
In the empty chair
The little boy became a man, and had his own family
His daughter once fell off her bike, and was rushed to emergency
In the hospital waiting room, feeling lost and anxious and scared
He closed his eyes and tried to pray, but there words were just not there
And then he remembered what his mother had said…
Chorus
Bridge: Well his daughter pulled through fine, and the years kept rolling by
And his mother’s eyes grew dim, and then her mind began to fail
It got to where she didn’t even know her own son’s name
But he always stopped to visit, and before he’d leave he’d say (now remember mom)
Chorus
The doctor called one morning, and he said, you’re mom’s gone home
She passed away while sleeping; it was a peaceful way to go
One thing kind of strange though; the nurse who found her said
That your mother’s head was resting on this chair next to the bed
Chorus
Tag: What a friend we have in Jesus; all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer
