This was written to express how fortunate I have been and if God were to take me away now this is what I would say. This is also dedicated to Tom Drever who passed away this past year.
Take Me Away (Marvin H Lane/Richard Melvin Brown) Chorus Lord take me away I've served my time well I'm ready for your hand To take me where you dwell Lord take me away To your kingdom up above I'm ready to leave this earth For your precious arms of love I've lived a good life I have no complaints I have a wonderful wife Who kept me in my place I had many friends Who stood right by my side They gave me their shoulder For those times that I cried Chorus Lord take me away I've served my time well I'm ready for your hand To take me where you dwell Lord take me away To your kingdom up above I'm ready to leave this earth For your precious arms of love I'm proud of my legacy That resides in my kids Their future looks bright Because of what you did But I can't take the credit It was you all along You showed me what to do You showed me right from wrong So now the time has come To give my soul to you To take me to your place Where love is really true I leave with no regrets No tears will I ever shed I know that I am saved By the blood that Jesus bled Chorus Lord take me away I've served my time well I'm ready for your hand To take me where you dwell Lord take me away To your kingdom up above I'm ready to leave this earth For your precious arms of love Copyright ©2006
