Bennie Sharp Obituary
"Why should I feel discouraged, and why should the shadows come, why should my heart feel lonely, and long for heaven home? When Jesus is my portion,
a constant friend is He; his eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches over me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, for his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me."
Mr. Bennie Lee Sharp
