in memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
And he looked over the mountain top and saw the promise land,
He told us that he may not get there with you
But putting everything in God’s hands,
What will yet to come.
For his fight for justice and freedom is nearly done,
In hopes that it wasn’t for nothing gained
After battling the fight and the victory won,
With truth on the side of right after a well fought battle.
Evening came and our prince was taken away,
Our prince has left us in a blink of an eye
He was not here to stay
Gone from us forever.
He went to the mountain, and he looked over and saw the promise land,
But he couldn’t go there with us this time,
But the angel took his hand
Then whisk him away to glory.
