I'm just a little feller
Who didn't quite make it there;
I went straight to be with Jesus
But I'm waiting for you here.
Don't you fret about me Mommy,
I'm one of all God's lambs most blest;
I'd have loved to stay there with you
But the Shepherd knows what's best.
Many dwelling here where I live,
Waited years to enter in;
Struggled through a world of sorrow,
And there lives were marked with sin.
So sweet Mommy don't you sorrow,
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom;
I went straight to Jesus' bossom,
From my lovely mothers' womb.
Thank you for the life you gave me,
It was brief, but don't complain;
I have all of heavens glory,
Suffered none of earthlings'pain.
Thank you for the name you gave me,
I'd have loved to brought it fame;
But if I'd lingered in earths shadows,
Might instead have brought it shame.
Daddy gave me something for you,
It's our secret, Mommy dear;
Pressed tight against my forehead,
Whispered in my tiny ear.
I'll be waiting for you Mommy,
You and Daddy, Brother and Sis;
I'll be with you then forever,
Then I'll give you Daddys' kiss.
