At a very early age, James committed and dedicated his life to
Christ, and was baptized at Elim Baptist Church where he served

Grief will not last, joy will return,
For through the tears we clearly see
That while we part hut for a time,
With Christ well spend eternity.

Servant Of God, Well Done
Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Masters joy.
The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear.
The pains of death are past; Labor and sorrow cease;
And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done; Praise be thy new employ;
And, while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviors joy.
