I have finished now with this house o f clay Please kindly and carefully lay it away And let me restfrom this life o f pain; Toiling in sunshine, storm and rain And turning no needyfrom my door I strove to do my Masters work Never a duty did I shirk Many times I was misunderstood When I had done the best I could I am tired now, so let me rest
Don't cry, don't you know, God knows best? Please no sad hearts, no hung down heads Don't weep fo r me fo r I AM NOT DEAD.
I have another house you know Where only God's redeemed can go.
I do not need this house o f clay So tenderly, carefully, lay it away.
Words of Zhanks
We, the family wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for all the acts o f kindness and prayers during the passing o f our loved one. May God richly bless and keep you.
