Lord, I pray you'll take my pain away one day. I need you in my heart, my life, and soul. Whenever you are ready, just take control. When It's my time, just free my soul. I ain't scared to die cause I know THERE'S A BETTER PLACE THAN HERE. Lord, when it's my time, please take me there. Dear God, I know a lot of people won't understand until they get to the Holy Land. But Dear Lord, I will hold on to your hand and follow every step that you have planned. Father, this I'm sure, you already know. BUT WHENEVER YOU NEED ME, I'M READY TO GO.
