If Erma Could Speak

I did not know the day I did not know the place Neither did I know the hour When I would meet my Saviour face to face As I was on my way to work Out on the busy snowy street I stepped aside to wait awhile Right there I did my Saviour meet In a moment - I heard Him call my name I answered "Lord here am I" I knelt there on the snow walk And bade my earthly life - "Goodbye" Goodby too all my friends, both old and new To my sisters and brothers a last - "Goodbye" Tis true we shall never meet on earth again So, Please let us meet together with Jesus on high. Her Brother
