The Road To Eternity
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be. A resting place along the road to sweet eternity... We all have different journeys,different paths along the way. We all were meant to stay... Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward, finally everlasting peace together with the Lord...
