Sis Jefferson and family
Minister Cannon and I would like to extend our deepest condolence, God bless you and continue to strengthen you all.
“Bro Jefferson, God Saw You Getting Weary”
God Saw you getting Weary,
so He did what He knew best.
He came and stood beside you
and whispered “come and rest”.
He gently closed those loving eyes
and whispered, “Peace Be Thine”.
The weary hours, the days of pain,
The sleepless nights are past,
The ever patient worn out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.
