Selah - Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said to the undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky

I went back home, home was so lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad alone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
In the sky Lord, in the sky
