God had called me by my name, And down to my house God's angels came. They carried me up to my home in the sky, I don't have to suffer I don't have to cry. I appreciate your love and all that you've done,
My work here is finished and my victory has been won.
Please live for Jesus in all that you do, And on that great day you'll see me smile too. Good-
bye my loved ones, family and friends. We will see each other when eternal life begins.
