"The Master Called"

I m sorry I had to leave you. ; My loved ones, Oh so dear. But you see, the Master called me, His voice was very clear! I had made my reservation,
A heaven bound ticket for one. And I knew that He would call me When He felt my work was done. I know that your hearts are heavy
Because I have gone away,

But when the Master called me, I knew that I could not stay.
Yes, Im sorry I had to leave you My love ones, Oh so dear.
But, you see , the Master called me And, now Im resting here.
Yes, Ive crossed on over to glory
And to you all I say. Just stay in the hands of Jesus, And we will meet again someday.
