From the day o f my beginning I had a choice to make, to stay in sin forever or the gift o f love to take. Although there have been ups and downs, tears there were a few, by giving them to Jesus they dissipated like the morning dew.
I t 's just the last chapter o f the book that I am in, you know it had to close because o f mankind s sin. It s just the last chapter for me today, don't mourn, rejoice instead family and friends. This is the day I 've been working and waiting for. I 've gone to be with Jesus, now I can rest and be happy forever more; I 'll be waiting on the other shore.
