I heard it loudly, and heard it clear, And as I rose to stand
I heard a voice call out to me, "Come, this way, take my hand."

I heard a voice call out to me, I did not feel any pain
I felt completely well again, And then I heard Him say,

"It is time now, Dorothy. You have been a faithful child.
And all will be much better." The voice became so mild.

I saw a star of light, just ahead of me,
When I looked into the light I saw my family
I saw my aunts and uncles, mama and daddy, too
I saw friends from my past, I barely even knew!
I heard a voice call out to me
But, really, must I go?
I do not know why
I have lingered so

I heard a voice call out to me, It was my daughter and my son
And I wanted to stay with them, but my time on Earth was done.
I heard a voice call out to me, and as I turned to go
He said my children will live on, But, trust me, they will know.

I heard a voice call out to me
I wanted to go back
But all life's treasures seemed so small
when holding Jesus' hand

I heard a voice call out to me
As he put His hand in mine
His precious warmth surrounded me
And will for all of time
