Last night as I lay sleeping, [F] a dream came to [C] me.
I dreamed about being of [D] time, about [G] eternity.
[C] I saw a million sinners [F] fall on their knees [C] to pray.
The Lord, He sadly shook His head on this, [Gm] I heard [C] Him say,
Sorry, I never knew you.
Depart from me, you fool.
[D] [G]
[C] Sorry, I never knew you.
Go and serve the one that you have served before.
[G]
[C] I thought the time had fully come [F] that I must stand the [C] trial.
I told the Lord that I had met [Bb] a Christian of [G] the world.
[C] But through His book He took all of us [F] and sadly shook [C] His head.
[Am] That placed me over [C] all His left hand, this [G] I heard [C] Him say,
I never knew you.
I found the record of [G] your birth.
[D] [G]
[C] Sorry, I never knew you.
Go and serve the one that you served down on earth.
There were my wife and children.
[F] I heard their loving [C] voice.
They must have been so happy.
[Gb] Oh, how they did [G] rejoice.
We [C] rose and white around them, [F] their faces all [C] glowed.
[Am] My little girl [C] looked over at me and just [G] sat there [C] to say,
Daddy, we can't go with you.
We must work in the joys of [G] our Lord.
[C] Sorry, for we still love you.
But you cannot be our daddy anymore.
[G]
[C] Now when I had awakened, [F] the tears were in [C] my eyes.
[G]
[C] And looking all around me, [Bb] and there to my [G] surprise,
[C] There were my loving babies.
[F] I knew it was [C] a dream.
[Am] Down beside [C] this bed of mine, you should [G] have heard [C] me scream,
Father, who art in glory, I know thou givest an [G] only Son.
[Bm]
[C] Father, please forgive me, for I want to be ready [G] when you [C] come.
