I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. II Timothy 4:6-7 Ive done my best Ive sung my song Ive done some good Ive done some wrong Now shall I go and take my stand, to be with Him in that unknown land. He knows my heart and every thought. He knows what pain and joy Ive brought. And by his love I have been taught, that one day I must go. He knows my soul is weak and blind, so full of fear with a troubled mind. And so good-nite. Ive stood the test. I go with Him, I need some rest. bituarg Deacon William Brother Stewart was bom June 14, 1929 to the late Mr. Pearlie and Mrs. Ellen Stewart in Hagan, Georgia.
