Eternal Rest
O Lord, when it is time
for my eternal rest,
I pray I shall come to You
and have done my best.

I know that I'm still
just a baby Christian in Your eyes.
And dear Lord, I figure that to You
is no suprise.

We each have a path to follow
with Your help I'll try to keep up.
I will give my heart, my body and soul to You
and for once keep my mouth shut.

For I have said too many things about others
and used my voice to curse.
Forgive me, Lord, and help me always
to remember Your Word - chapter and verse.

Thank You for hearing me, Lord,
I bow before You humbly.
Yes, Lord, I pray that You will one day,
to my eternal rest, call me.
