[C] [F]
Last night as I lay sleeping, [F] a dream [C] came to me.
I dreamed about the end of [D] time, about [G] eternity.
[C] I saw a million [Gm] sinners [F] fall on their knees [C] to pray.
The Lord, He sadly shook His [G] head, and the sight heard Him say,
[C] Sorry, I never knew you.
Depart from me [G] forevermore.
[C] Sorry, I never knew you.
Go and serve the one man you [G] have [C] served [Am] before.
[C] I thought the time had fully come [F] that I'd stand [C] at last.
I told the Lord that I had [D] been a Christian [G] all the while.
[C] I knew [G] His book, [C] He took up the cross, [F] and sadly shook [C] His head.
Then placed me over on His left, [G] and the sigh heard Him say,
Sorry, I never knew you.
I find no record of your birth.
[C] Sorry, I never knew you.
Go and [G] serve the one that you served down on [F] [C] earth.
There were my wife and children, [F] I heard their [C] loving
[G] voice.
[C] They must have been so happy, [D] oh how they did [Bm]
rejoice.
[C] Their robes are [C] white around them, [F] their faces all [C]
aglow.
My little [G] girl [C] looked over at me, [G] and the sigh heard her [A]
say,
[C] Daddy, we can't go with you.
We must dwell in the joys of [G] our [Em] Lord.
[C] Sorry, for we still love you,
But you'll never [G] be our daddy [C] anymore.
[F] [C]
Now when I had awoken, [F] the tears were in [C] my eyes.
And [A] looking [C] all around me, [D] and there in my [G]
surprise,
[C] There were my loving babies, [F] I knew it [C] was a dream.
Down beside that bed of mine, [G] you should have heard me [A]
scream,
[C] Father, who art in glory,
I know, Thou gavest Thine [G] only Son.
Father, please forgive me,
For I want to [G] be ready when [C] You come.
