NEARLY DIED.....
WHEN JUST A BABE....
A PROMISE TO THE LORD....
HE AND MAMA MADE...
THEY PRAYED THIS PRAYER...
"12 YEARS, PLEASE".....
WITH BROKEN HEARTS....
THEY SAID WITH EASE...
GOD HONORED THEIR PRAYER...
HE LOVED THEM SO...
THAT BABY GIRL....
WAS QUITE A SHOW...
SHE GREW UP FAST...
AS THEY SOON SEEN...
LEFT THE HOME...
AS JUST A TEEN...
HE STAYED IN TOUCH...
ALL THOSE YEARS...
SHE CAN SEE HIM NOW...
STILL, THROUGH HER TEARS...
FOR 85 YEARS...
HE WAS AROUND...
NOW THERE HE LAY...
IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND....
JUST THE SHELL...
OF A BODY WORN OUT...
SHE'LL SEE HIM AGAIN...
THERE IS NO DOUBT...
WHEN JESUS COMES...
TO CLAIM HIS OWN....
THEY'LL MEET AGAIN...
AROUND GOD'S THRONE....
BACK INTO MY LIFE...
AGAIN HE WILL BE...
FOREVER AND EVER...
THROUGH ETERNITY...
THANK YOU GOD...
FOR A DAD WHO KNEW...
HOW TO TEACH ME...
SO MUCH ABOUT YOU....
