VERSE 1
  D          G         D
Well Jesus was an only son        
                         G
As he walked up Calvary Hill 
D                        G      D
His mother Mary walking beside him          
                      A        D
In the path where his blood spilled        
 
 
VERSE 2
  D         G      D
Jesus was an only son 
                      G
In the hills of Nazareth 
D                     G          D
As he lay reading the Psalms of David
              A        D
Held at his mother's feet 
 
 
VERSE 3
  D                               G             D
His mother prayed sleep tight, my child, sleep well 
                     G
For I'll be at your side 
D                           G           D
Let no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell 
                    A          D
Shall pierce your dreams this night 
 
 
VERSE 4
  D             G        D
In the garden at Gethsemane 
                                  G
He prayed for the life he'd never live 
D                 G          D
He beseeched his heavenly Father 
                            A        D
To remove the cup of death from his lips 
 
 
VERSE 5
  D                         G        D
Now there's a loss that can never be replaced 
                                    G
A destination that can never be reached 
D                             G         D
A light you'll never find in a mother's face 
                         A           D
The sea whose distance cannot be breached

VERSE 6
                      G         D
Well, Jesus kissed his mother's hands 
                                        G
And whispered, mother please still your tears 
D                            G
For remember the soul of the universe 
         D         A      D
Willed a world and it appeared.
