This is a small excerpt from the song that Darla played for Francene at the time of her death.
” You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand.
And I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am yours and You are mine. ”
