WAIT FOR ME 
By HOUIE LESTER 
Wait for me up in glory. 
Wait by the river of life; 
Tell Jesus for me that Tm longing, 
And ready to cease from my sighs: 
Just tell Him Til see you in glory. 
After this life here is through. 
Just wait for me up in glory. 
And soon Ill be coming to you. 
When the Lord called you home 
How it broke my heart 
To see you go away. 
Although I knew right from the start 
Wed meet again some day. 
So Ill watch and pray. 
Each night and day. 
Until my work is through - 
Then I shall hear my Master say, 
Come home, were waiting for you! 
Frank, Freddie, Franklin, Annie Nell

SOMEDf^y SOON 
ILL BE THERE WITH YOU! 
BY DAVID CROWLEY 
Ifs been many years, my wife. 
They were happy years, my love. 
I cant say how much Ill miss you. 
Guess Ill have to finish the course alone. 
The fragrant flowers around your hair. 
Your favorite flowers when love was young. 
And as I kiss your lifeless lips 
I remember the first time we kissed. 
0 memories, memories, how sweet they are. 
Our dear children, all grown, standing by. 
Times we cried, the times we laughed. 
You, my love, how I love you! 
And as I stare at your hands 
Folded over your breast 
1 cant hold back the tears. 
But then I stop and think. 
Someday soon Ill be there with you. 
Someday... Someday ... soon ... 
Ill be there ... with you! 
Your Husband, Frank
