I am very sorry I had to leave you. My loved ones, oh so dear. But you see the Master called me; his voice was very clear! I had made my reservation, a heaven-bound ticket for one, and I knew that he would call when he felt my work was done. I know that your hearts are heavy because I have gone away, but when the Master called me, I knew that I could not stay. Yes, I'm sorry I had to leave you, my loved ones, oh so dear, but you see the Master called me, and now I'm resting here. Yes, I've crossed on over to glory, and to you all, I can stay in the hands of Jesus, and we'll meet again someday.
