When My Life Is Over

15 May 2020 4:56 PM


When my life is over 
and I am lain beneath the clover

When the service is done
and the songs are sung

Do not leave flowers for me
Just have all who are there bow down on their knee

Sing the old song "Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling"
Tell those who are there about Him and stop them from falling

Pray for the lost and invite them in
Help them leave behind the world of sin

No better place will an alter call be gave 
than at a sinner set frees grave

Leave your sins at my grave and let them lie dead like me
Buried and gone from Gods memory

And when I rise from my rest 
I will see you with God and blessed
