Willie was last heard singing the worship song ‘Lord You Are My Hiding Place’ Written by Michael Ledner.
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength of the Lord
I will trust in You
Life does not end with death for those who believe in Christ. It is the beginning of eternity with God in heaven. We are weak but we rest in the strength of God, He alone is our hiding place and our deliverer. Our hope and trust is in Him alone.
May the good Lord, grant peace and comfort to the bereaved family of Willie.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. Psalms 18:2 (NLT)
