But now Lord I am ready to spend eter- nity with you. I know in my heart I’ve taught them so true and now if they need help, they know what to do, for they knew one day I’d leave with you, now I can rest assured that what I read in your word is true for to be ab- sent from the body is to be pres- ent with you.
