For 7 am nott> ready to be offered, and the time of my departure
is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that
love His appearing.

FAREWELL
Farewell my dear ones, dont weep; For Im at peace now and just asleep.
Farewell my children, Im not alone; The Mighty Maker has led me safely home.
Just think back over the many years, How sometimes we seem so strong, holding back tears,
}et God somehow always made a way. And I thanked him every night for another day.
Be strong my loved ones, always love one another; Be thoughtful sister, be kind brother.
Be strong my loved ones, strong in heart; The blood ties no one can ever part.
And if somewhere I made a mistake, As you live, many you will make.
Farewell, everyone, Ive been called away. Walk with God; Trust Him every day.
