The Life That I Have
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have is yours.
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Is yours and yours and yours.

To the members of the Jones family, it was with surprise that ai read of the passing of your father. I was a member of Zion Baptist many years ago when Rev Sutton and then Dr Daye were pastors. Your parents were special Christian people. You have my heartfelt sympathy.
