| When death comes knocking at my door And says "It’s time to go" "It's time to leave this fleeting life and all the things you know" Then horror grips my saddened mind And faith's put to the test Do I believe that God is Love And that His will is best? But Lord, I'm only sixty years Must I leave all I love My wife, my work, my home, my friends And live with you above? How can I leave my precious wife Companion of my heart? How can we bear to separate And live in worlds apart? How can I bear her loneliness As she grows old and grey I want to be there at her side Her faithful love repay How can I leave my work undone The lives that I might win To teach of Him whose death can give Eternal life within? How can I leave my precious friends The mirrors of my soul? Must I abruptly say "Farewell My life has reached it's goal"? Pain squeezed my body in its vice Death stared me in the face God seemed so very far away And darkness took His place But then my Father showed His love In this my darkest hour He sent His angels to my aid He showed His love and power His rod and staff they comfort me Within the valley deep * My Shepherd never leaves my side And will His promise keep So if I stay or if I go Within His will I rest He takes me in His arms of love He knows the way that's best. * Psalm 23. |
