Poem Written By Ella Mae Mckenzie Feb 26^th 1969

While in the hospital. Recited by Rev. Roy Frazier

at “Mothers” Funeral.

There’s a grassy spot on Jordan’s shore,

As I stood there in silence on day in prayer.

I seemed to hear my savior say

“Come on child, all the way.”

I will hold your hand, I will steady your step,

I will never let you stray.

Just close your eyes and come with me,

To your home eternally.

But now I hear a stronger voice

“Wait “ it seems to say.

Don’t take that step into Jordan yet,

There’s still time yet to pray.

There are souls to be saved, Lost sheep returned

That have simply gone astray.

So be sure we have them all safely home,

Before we close this day.

God needs your help, so please will you wait

To step over Jordan with me,

and then we will enter our heavenly home,

with all Gods Children and Me.
