Ive Done My Work
Ive done my work, Ive sung my song Ive done some good Ive done some wrong
And I shall go where I belong The Lord has willed it so .
He knows my heart and every thought He knows what pain and joy Ive brought
And by His love I shall be taught The way to Him I know.
He knows my soul so weak and blind. So full of fear of mortal mind
And He will lead and I shall find The way to Him I know.
He guides my steps, and He knows best, He will not harm, where He is blest And so goodnight Ill take my rest, Where sweet wild roses grow.
Egression of Gratitude
The family would like to thank all their many friends for all acts of kindness shown during the loss of their loved one. May God bless each and everyone of you. ~ The Family
