I never know if this will be my final parting rhyme,
The day the Lord will call my name, provide a different home.
If today will mark the end of this my earthly time,
My spirit, soul set free again, throughout the heavens roam.
I value all the friends I’ve made throughout my earthly stay.
I know that I’m a stranger here, that I’m just passing through.
My home is with the Lord on high and I’ll be called away.
That final phase provides for me a life forever new.
I thank the Lord each day I’m here for this my time on earth,
The beauty of creation that God put me here to see.
I’m grateful for each day I’ve spent, each day beyond my birth.
I’m grateful for each day of life the Lord has given me.
When my final chapter’s done, there’s no more left to tell,
I pray that I’ve accomplished all the things I should have done.
I pray that I have pleased the Lord and I have lived it well,
When He calls and says to me, “It’s time, come home my son.”
Lord lead the way and teach me Lord each day to follow you.
Help me Lord to seize each day, know things I’ve left to do.
