-Rejoice Wtih Me in Death-
Wipe away your tears and don't cry Because l had to die.
1couldn't choose the time nor type of death, But where I'm going I'll have no regrets.
I've talked to the Maker And he's never been a forsaker.
He brought me up from the midst of my trials Removing all doubts and denials.
Rejoice with me as 1sleep, My body is gone but now my spirit is with the
Lord to keep.
Even through my body will turn to debris, My soul is free.
I'm going to a new city Where 1won't have to grieve in pity.
Rejoice with me. I'm going to see the Heavenly.
1Don't have to suffer pain anymore in this land. For I'm waiting to proceed onto the judgement
stand. Hoping to sit at God's right hand.
Myjourney is over and now complete. The battles have been won, oh what a great feat!
Don't be sad for me. I've waited for this day to see the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost, Oh yes all three!
So my family continue to ride. I'mjust one step on the other side.
