Sorry, I Never Knew You

Last night as I was sleeping, this dream came to me:
I dreamed about the end of time, about eternity.
I saw a million sinners fall on their faces to pray.
The Savior sadly shook his head, and this I heard Him say:

Chorus: "Sorry, I never knew you; Depart from Me forevermore.
Sorry, I never knew you: Go and serve the one that you served before."

I thought the time had come when I must stand the trial.
I told the Lord that I had veen a Christian all the while.
But through the book He then looked and sadly shook His head.
Then place me over on His left, and this is what He said:

Chorus: "Sorry, I never knew you; I find no record of your birth.
Sorry, I never knew you; Go and serve the one you served while on earth."

There was my wife and children; I heard each one's voice.
They must have all been happy; it seemed they did rejoice,
With robes of whie around them, and crowns upon their head.
My little girl looked up at me, and this is what she said:

Chorus: "Daddy, we can't go with you; We must stay on this lovely shore.
Sorry, for we still love you, But you cannot be our daddy anymore."

When I from sleep awakened, with tears in my eyes,
I looked around, and there about me, to my great surprise,
I saw my wife and babies and knew I'd had a dream.
Then down beside my bed I fell, and for mercy did scream:

Chorus: "Father, who art in glory, In mercy Look on me today.
Forgive me; let me serve Thee till the summons comes that calls me away."
