Angels in the Light
Greg Roundtree 1961 (Georgia)
When I did lay dying, my life was overwhelmed.
Then with exaltation, I slipped this earthly realm.
My mind was so enraptured, my pain on earth forgot.
This freedom of my soul, on earth I’d always sought.
My journey into afterlife, embraced with all my might.
Then I saw the brilliant glow, of Angels in the light!
