When I come to the end of the perfect way
That God had planned for me,
When my body is old
And my lips cant speak,
I hope that the thoughts of my frineds
May not be dismal and bleak.
Let them be cheerful, glad and gay,
For Im sure therell be another day.
The pattern changes though life does not end
But moves on to a higher way.
Gods promises are real to me,
His word is very sure.
And at my passing I believe
In His love I shall feel secure.
