OFFICIAL NOTICE OF EARTHLY TRANSITION: Deacon Lonnie Johnson Alpha: Saturday, September 22, 1945, Omega: Thursday, January 23, 2025

I thought that number one would surely be me, I thought I would be what I wanted to be. I thought I could build on life's sinking sand, But I can't even walk without You holding my hand. I thought I could do a lot on my own, I thought I could make it all alone; I thought of myself as a mighty big man, But I can't even walk without You holding my hand. Lord I can't even walk without You holding my hand. The mountain's too high and the valley's too wide. Down on my knees, I learned to stand. Because I can't even walk without You holding my hand.
