With Full of Hope and Dignity

Facing mortality, I fear not
'Cos my spirit aim for the crown
To eternity, I am bound!
Nature's fury, I'm not shaken
Nor, terrified by impending end
That relentlessly awaiting us all,
For I never doubted the Angel's call!
In silence, grave waits for my flesh
To be laid, selflessly, in its caress;
If, this is a farewell, then I plead
Let the remain, be not mourned
Nor, place in ornate to be adorned;
I will rise, upon my Savior's command
To dwell in a home, for the chosen!
For as daylight waned and the night came on,
I must safeguard my conviction
And I'll be loyal to the solemn vow
Until I put my head to rest
On my soft white pillow,
With full of hope and dignity!
