The Setting Sun

The setting sun is getting low Soon it will be time for me to go It's time for me to leave this fight And travel to God's majestic light I've run my race and did my best Now is the time for a well earned rest The time has come for me to leave Be happy for me and do not grieve Sit with me and hold my hand As I travel off to that distant land The angels are here to carry me Over the river to my destiny

Oh, this has the feel of the old hymns. Heaven has so many of my favorite people...and it's more real to me every day. Beautiful write, Timothy :)
