I Have a Place in Heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me, forget your grief andfear, For I am in a perfect place awayfrompain and tears...
It's far away from hunger and hurt and want and pride, I have a place in Heaven with the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good, as earthly life can go, But Paradise is so much more than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness and sweet rejoicing, too. To walk with God is perfect peace, a joy forever new.
Eulogy
