about

STORY:
Paul resolutely faces
the executioner’s blade as
he awaits the twelfth of the "twelve bells"

“In my Father's house are many mansions…
I go to prepare a place for you…his Master replied,
‘Well done, good and faithful servant…come and share
your Master’s happiness…!’ “ – from John 14:2 (KJV)
& Matthew 25:21 (NIV)

lyrics

LYRICS:
(Bell 1 – bell 2 – bell 3 – bell 4 – bell 5)
The tollin’ of the bell – (bell 6) – beneath the morning star
Sorrow not for me – I’ve journeyed far
This be my lone request – my one and only plea
Lay me down – but sorrow not for me

I hear my Master – and out across the sea
I feel a new wind risin’ up for me
Far across the waters I see His Heavens shine
And soon at last that Mansion will be mine

The rising of the tide – to sail no more alone
I’ve come about – at last I’m headin’ home
A sailor’s last request – a seaman’s final plea
I’ve sailed this world – now, no sad songs for me

A new hand takes the tiller – the sail lifts full and tall
Loud and clear I hear my Captain call:
“Well done, my faithful servant – your glorious race is won
Now anchor-down – at last your journey’s done”

The calming of the sea – the passing of the storm
I’m sailing now for shelter safe and warm
The tollin’ of the bell – (bell 7) – from sea to shining sea
Ask not for whom it tolls – it tolls for me

Bell 8 – bell 9 – bell 10 – bell 11 – bell 12 – Axe
