Dorothy Lamarries Moses
Cry no more.
She is no longer with us physically, but her golden spirit will remain with us forever. She is resting in the bosum of Jesus.
She's only just gone home.
She's borne the burden and heat of the day,
She's labored long in the Lord’s vineyard,
And she's tired--
She's weary--
Go down, Death, and bring her home to me.
And there God’s servant laid Sister Lamarries
On the loving breast of Jesus.
And Jesus took his own hand and wiped away her tears,
And he smoothed the furrows from her face,
And the angels sang a little song,
And Jesus rocked her in his arms,
And kept a-saying: Take your rest,
Take your rest.
Weep not--weep not,
She is not dead;
She's resting in the bosom of Jesus.
She is reunited with her one true love, her baby, Dawn Jeanette Moses.
She is not here.
