Before we reach its height.

We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.

I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.

And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

we as a people will get to the promised land.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

it is merely the absence of light.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
