The Time Has Come
The Time Has Come
The time has come but not too soon
To cast aside this failing cloak
Then don the robes of silver moon
And dwell in the peace of which He spoke.
My work is done and breath is spent
No name have I in history’s book
My name to inventions I have not lent
Nor discoveries made or journeys took
I have hurt none, helped when I could
None were turned from my door when in need
I have worked for what was right and good
And to evil took no heed
To Him I have given my life and love
His teachings formed my life
Blessings were many from above
Children grown stand with my wife
I pray my choices in life were right
And my soul free from worldly trials
So when I travel towards the light
I’ll be met with heavenly smiles.
