Memory of Jim Ray

For many days my body ached 
And sadness ruled my heart,
And at the end I closed my eyes
And let my soul depart

I saw the room where body laid
With peace upon its face
I saw my wife and children cry
And priest with a mournful face

Oh, people, don't be crying now
I see the light ahead.
The voice of God is calling loud,
I'm anything but dead.

Believe in spirit over flesh,
Believe in Kingdom Come,
Believe in Prayer over Death
And love for everyone.
