Where I am from is a life of hardship
Where I am from is a life of fear
I am from a life where life threaten the mind
From a life where mind fears the pain
I am from a life where pain hurt the feeling
From a life where feeling surrender to death

I am from a death of perfect submission
Where your soul; all is at rest
Where you find the foretaste of glory divine!
I am from the death of vision
Where rapture now bust on my sight
Where my soul watching and waiting
I am from the time of miracle
From a place where an angel descended and picked me up
From a place when I heard the echoes of mercy and a whisper of love
Where I am from is a death of perfect delight
From the time when I was filled with thy goodness
From the time when I was lost in thy love
Hallelujah! The time had come!
