When By Frances Sue Wheatley When my eyelids close in death Please don’t weep for me - For I’ll be home with my Precious Lord For all Eternity!

God won’t take me home, you see Till all my tasks on earth are through Till my allotted years are spent And there’s no more for me to do.

When god’s hand reaches down for me Please don’t weep for me - Because you see, I’m the lucky one For my Heavenly Father I will see!

Be assured I will be happy In a most ecstatic way - So please don’t be filled with sadness But rejoice in God that day.

Just remember how I’ve loved you How I’ve prayed and pleaded, too For the Lord to fill you fully With His Love and Grace so true!

To my family, friends and all I love, I thank God for you every day - Please love the lord with all your heart And I’ll see you when you cross the way!
