about

Written for my friend Chris King's memorial service, held in our historic little chapel that he helped our congregation to buy some 20 years ago. Built by formerly enslaved families working by firelight in 1890, its wooden walls are soaked deeply with the hopes and despairs of people who lived through segregation and lynchings in the Jim Crow south. Chris had great reverence for them, and was committed to their story taking its proper place in our local history. He also was quite a scholar of the blues. I felt like an improvised slide piece of some sort would be a fitting sendoff, but on the morning of the service, the song wrote itself in fifteen minutes. I'll always consider it a treasured gift from my friend in the Great Beyond.

When my time comes, don't shed a tear (repeat)
I've got all I need and it's beautiful here

When my time comes, raise your voice & sing (repeat)
it sounds like angels when, that joyful noise rings

When my time comes, hold out your hand (repeat)
don't worry about me, lift up your fellow man and woman too

When my time comes, yeah ring them bells (repeat)
until we meet again, fare thee well
