Ive Only Moved Away 
Dont weep for Ill be at rest. 
Only ask yourself this question, 
Ami ready to meet Him there? 
When therell be separation in Heaven, 
So bright and so fair; 
When you pass to view my body. 
Remember its just a house of clay; 
Jesus has built for me a mansion. 
And Ive only moved away.
