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 of all gods lambs most blest;
I'd have loved to stay there with you
But the shepard knows whats best.

Many dwelling here where I live
Waited years to enter in;
Struggled through a world of sorrow
And their lives were marred with sin.

So sweet mommy don't you sorrow
Wipe those tears and chase the gloom;
I went straight to jesus bosom
From my lovely mothers womb.

Thank you for the life you gave me
It was brief but don't complain;
I have all of heaven's glory
Suffered more 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
Its our secret mommy dear;
Pressed it tight against my forehead
Whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you mommy
You and Daddy in heaven's bliss;
I'll be with you then forever
Then I'll give you daddy's kiss.
