I Do Not Go Atone
IfDeath should beckon me With outstretched hands I shall not be afraid
For though the path I do not know
I take deaths hand withoutfear
,
For He who safely brought me here
Will always take me safely back,
And though in many things I lack
He will not let mejjo alone Into the ccValky thats Unknown," So I reach out and take Deaths hand And journey to the ^Promised Land."
