Hand Of The Father

For 24 years I've lived this life

In 24 hours I'll leave this life

Powder flash

As the earth gave way

Crimson blooms

On my coat of gray

The light grows dark as I awake

Angels dance my soul to take

I hear them say

Take the hand of the Father

As he leads you to the land

Of no tomorrow

Take the hand of the Father

As he leads you to the land

Of no more sorrows

Mama I'll miss your tender care

Daddy I hope I'll see you there

I tried so hard to do what's right

The time has come

To give up this fight

Lord I hear your still small voice

In a childhood vow

I made my choice

I hear you say
