I Had a Good Mother and Father Songtext
von Washington Phillips

I used to have a real good mother and a father
And they certainly stood the test
Now they are, are in bright Glory
And I know their souls are at rest

They laid a good example for me
They taught me how to pray
Now I am-a truly converted
And I′m walking in the narrow way


I'm so glad salvation is free
It is free for you and me
Now if we just only live with Jesus
How happy we could be

I know this whole round world do not love me, nohow
And it is on the ′count of sin
But I'm so thankful God is able
For to give me many friends

Jesus, he said for you to love thee, one another
As He has loved you
Then you will rightly treat your neighbor
And it won't be hard for you to do
