May the works I've done speak for me. May the works (I've done) speak for me. When I'm resting in my grave, there’s nothing more to be said; May the works (the works I've done) Let it speak for me, (for me).

Whereas, the earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. It has pleased God after 89 years to call from among us a life well lived, into eternal rest:
