My brother remembered this song today and we searched for the song online. Here are the lyrics as we remember them. (a verse was missing above and there are other minor differences.)
A messenger came this morning, with a letter in his hand
He smiled and said this is for you, so I took it from the man
I had a familiar feeling, he was someone I once knew
I started to invite him in a while, but I had other things to do...
The envelope said, "To one I love"
Who could send a love note to me
So I paused a while a while to read it
cause I wondered who it could be
It started out beloved, it has been a long long time
Since we have shared together, though you've long been on my mind
I'd like to spend some time with you, today and forevermore
But I won't force my love on you, you must open up the door
There was a time, do you recall, the happiness we knew
Did you forget my promises do you know that they're still true ....
Do you realize where you are today, so far away from home?
It takes courage to come back, admit that you were wrong
I'm not trying to embarrass you, or even make you cry
I just want you to understand, my love will never die, ohhhh
Call my name and I'll be there to comfort you again
Let me be your lover, let me be your friend
And as I turned the letter over, I slowly hung my head
Cause it was signed sincerely Jesus
And that was how the letter read ....
