Now my life on Earth is over, And my bocfy is cold and sti/1 Do notgrieve because I leftyou, Just remember it was God's will. A// my sufferings now are over
Every tria/ and every test. God has ca//ed and I have answered,
Don't weep for me, I'// be at rest. On!J ask yourself this question, "A.m I reacfy to meet Him there?, Where there'// be no separation in Heaven so bright andfair". When youpass to view my bocfy,
Remember it'sjust a house ofdqy.
Jesus builtfor me a mansion And I've on!J moved awqy.
