A Soul Eternity Bound
With crucifix in hands, she prays, she stays. The troubled waters high. “Lord, where are you now?” She cries aloud, “In darkness, nigh”.
The dying soul prays on and on, until a sudden change. It were as though the Incarnate Word were born on earth again.
The darkness fled, A peace descends, A peace ne’er known before. With crucifix in hands she prays, she stays, - this time for evermore.
