When We Shall Leave This Place


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing I

(Without a doubt we'll know
That we have been revived
When we shall leave this place.)

Lines above by Doris Akers

When we shall leave this place

We hope to leave a trace

And due to that trace we hope to leave

Someone will choose to believe

And after that someone's sacred life

Has been changed sans a knife

They, too, hope they will leave a trace

When they shall leave this place.
