These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world he shall have tribulations: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
You wonder why I went away, and didn't say goodbye
I couldn't bear to tell you, for it hurts me when I cry.
My ship came in at morning time, and it's beautiful to see;
For the captain was King Jesus and He softly beckoned to me.
I ran across the leeway and fell down at His feet.
He gently took me in His arms, my rest is now complete.
