Naomi & the Segos Lyrics
"Sorry, I Never Knew You"

Last night as I lay sleeping A dream appeared to me
I dreamed about the end of time About eternity
I saw a million sinners fall on their knees to pray
the Lord he sadly shook his head and this I heard him say,
Sorry I never knew you Depart from me forevermore.
Sorry I never knew you Go and serve the one that you have served before.

I thought the time had fully come That I must stand the trial.
I told the Lord that I had been A Christian all the while
But through his book he took a look and sadly shook his head
then placed me over on his left and this I heard him say,
Sorry, I never knew you. I find no record of your birth.
Sorry, I never knew you.
Go and serve the one that you served down on Earth.

There were my wife and children I heard their loving voice
They must have been so happy O how they did rejoice.
Their robes of white around them their faces all aglow.
My little girl looked over at me and this I heard her say,
Daddy, we can't go with you. We must dwell in the joys of our Lord
Sorry, for we still love you But you cannot be our Daddy anymore.

Now when I had awakened The tears were in my eyes
And looking all around me And there to my suprise
There were my loving babies I knew it was a dream
And beside that bed of mine You should have heard me scream
Father, Lord in Glory I know thou gave thine only Son
Father, please forgive me For I want to be ready when you come.
