Into the Presence
of the Lord

Should you
be with me
when I die
just kiss me
goodbye
and accept my belief
that I'm going to be
with the Lord.

So let go of me tenderly
to show how much you care for me
and believe that my soul waits for yours
in the presence of the Lord.

For whosover shall call
upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved...Romans 10:13
