"Just In Case"
Just in case my Master calls me And my task on earth is done Just in case He comes to tell me
That my last great victory s won;
I'm leaving you this statement Twill make matters easier, too It will help you make decisions About each thing that you must do.
Just in case your load gets heavy When I close my eyes to rest;
Jus.t remember Jesus loves you, And He 'II help you stand the test Just hold on to each promise-
Hold on for Jesus sake. He has promised to be near you So calm the grief within your breast For He knows I've done my best.
