Be such a man and live such a life,

He had a special love for many of the children of Jerusalem

LaShanda Holland.
Theres an open gate at the end of the road
Through which each must go alone.
And there in a light we cannot see.
Our Father claims His own.
Beyond the gate. He will find happiness and rest
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best.
