Take my soul into your care.We can’t stop life’s running river; only you reverse its flow.You will raise me in my body; ev'ryone on earth will know.Generations will remember how the Father sent His Son,Their release from sin’s dark wages. It is finished; it is done.Copyright ©2012 Jayne Nitz. All rights reserved.
