Dreaming of a Little Cabin

In dreams of yesterday I wandered
Back to my little cabin door.
I strolled beside an old rock garden
And saw familiar scenes once more.
I heard the organ softly playing
Its music so sweet and low.
And heard my mother sweetly singing
As I often did so long ago.

[CHORUS] I was dreaming of a little cabin
And I heard somebody call my name.
I looked and saw the sweetest angel
It seemed I was a child again.
She gently put her arms around me
And kissed her little boy once more.
And I knew it was the same sweet mother
That kissed me many times before

I heard her sing the "Rock of Ages"
And "Silver Threads Among the Gold".
She told me once again of Jesus
Within that little cabin fold.
She opened up her faded Bible
Where the family records used to be
And I knew it was the same sweet mother
That years ago cradled me.

[CHORUS]

An orphan through this world I wander
Since mother left the old homestead.
No one to pray for me at twilight
No place to lay my weary head.
I miss her voice gently calling
I miss her precious guiding hand.
And I know that when I reach God's city
I'll hear her call my name again.

[CHORUS]
