The family will receive friends and share repass at the
Gladiators Building on Oxendine Road.
God saw he was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, Come with me.
With tear-filled eyes we watched him
suffer and fade away.
Although we loved him deeply,
we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hardworking hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
The Master Called
Im soriy I had to leave you
My loved ones, Oh so dear.
But you see, the Master called me
His voice was veiy clear!
I had made my reservation-^
A heaven bound ticket for one
And I knew that He would call me.
When he felt my work was done.
I know your hearts are heavy
Because I have gone away;
But when the Master called me
1 knew that I could not stay.
Yes, Im Sony I had to leave you
My loved ones oh so dear.
But you see, the Master called me
And now Im resting here;
Yes, Ive crossed over to gloiy
And to you all I say,
lust stay in the hands of jesus
And well meet again someday.
