PRAYER, VERSE CRUCIAL MOMENT OF LIFE.
THANK THE LORD FOR A GIRL SO FINE,
YOU GAVE TO ME TO CALL HER MINE,.
NOW SHE'S GONE, SHE'S NEAR HER THRONE,
AND SHE'LL WAIT TILL I COME HOME.
CHORUS: LORD I LOVE HER, LORD I CRY,
LORD I MISS HER, TILL THE DAY I DIE.
ON THIS EARTH I'LL WORK AND PRAY
TILL GOD COMES AND TAKES ME AWAY,
UP TO HEAVEN HIGH IN THE SKY,
THE PLACE THAT YOU RESERVE FOR YOU AND I } }
CHORUS: LORD I LOVE HER, LORD I CRY,
LORD I MISS HER, TILL THE DAY I DIE.
