uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and many many friends.
I had a lot to do, more than some of you, but yet you wonder why I rest,
I finished early. I started on time, even though the choice was mine;
And I put in a full day's work, Ifinished early. I thought at first the road was
too long, I just asked the Lord to keep me strong,
And step by step I ran the race; I finished early.
I am not a quitter, my friend, I kept on fighting until the end,
And the only thing that I can say is, I finished early.
By the measure of man's mind, and not by God's own time
Do some of you look at the years; Ifinished early.
But with God, it counts not at all how long, how brief, how great or small,
But He looks for a ready heart, even if you finish early.
