On The Wings OfPrayer
Just close your eyes and open your heart And feel your worries and cares depart, Just yield yourself to the Father above And let Him hold you secure in His loveFor life on earth grows more involved With endless problems that can't be solved-
But God only asks us to do our best, Then He will "Take Over" and finish the restSo when you are tired, discouraged and blue, There's always one door that is open to youAnd that is the door to "The House of Prayer" And you'll find God waiting to meet you there,
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The family wishes to express sincere thanks and appreciation for every act of kindness shown them during the illness and passing of our loved one. May God richly bless you all.
