"THE KEEPER OF THE DOOR"
FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS IS BETTER THAN A THOU-
SAND. I HAD RATHER BE A DOORKEEPER IN THE
HOUSE OF MY GOD, THAN TO DWELL IN THE TENTS OF
WICKEDNESS. BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND
KNOCK: IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE, AND OPEN THE
DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH
HIM, AND HE WITH ME. PSALM 84:10; REVELATIONS
3:20
RECESSIONAL
'I'LL FLY AWAY'
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN
AND I'VE CROSSED THE GREAT DIVIDE.
THERE WILL BE NO SORROW OR CRYING
WHEN I'VE REACHED THE OTHER SIDE.
I SHALL BE SO HAPPY TO GET THERE,
FOR THE LORD HIMSELF I'LL SEE;
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN
THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME.
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN,
AND I'VE BID THIS WORLD GOOD-BYE,
I SHALL LIVE FOREVER WITH JESUS
IN MY HOME BEYOND THE SKY.
I SHALL HAVE NO BURDENS OR HEARTACHES,
AND FROM TEARS I SHALL BE FREE;
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN,
THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME.
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN,
I'LL BE SAFE FOREVERMORE,
FOR THE LORD IS BUILDING A MANSION,
AND MY NAME IS ON THE DOOR.
YOU WILL FIND US WALKING TOGETHER;
WHERE HE IS I'LL ALWAYS BE;
WHEN I'VE CHANGED MY ADDRESS TO HEAVEN,
THAT'S THE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME.
TRIBUTE TO MOTHER
My Mother, My Friend
'fit
There is no greater power than that of a
mother's love. It's the nature of the
human birth, that's been given from
above. It's the bonding with each other,
which no one else can show.
11 thank you for that true connection we've
gained within our souls, and for your love,
| your patience, your understanding, that
you" my mother knows.
