"On Angels wings, I am Glory bound to Heavens gates where peace is found
No more pain; no sorrow, no fear as I am with God in his city so dear
So cry not for me, as I have gone Home
To be with the Master; I am His own
On Angels wings I am glory bound
To Heavens gates; where peace "I have found'".
-Lisa Mathis Nash
