Rubin Abner - Will There Be Mansions In Heaven

From the back cover: Laying many days on one side to keep from bleeding to death, listening to the dying all around me. It seemed the death Angel walked the hallways. It was there I talked earnestly to God. In one of my darkest hours, Brother and Sister Gilbert Lamb came to visit me. The Doctors said they couldn't operate because of my condition. While they prayed, a voice spoke from the lips of the Sister Virgil, saying six words that seemed to flow warm and peacefully deep in my lungs. It didn't sound like a natural voice, "MY SON YOU WILL SING AGAIN".

Rubin goes on to say that he wrote "some of the songs on this recording" from his hospital bed.

Will There Be Mansions In Heaven?
This Is Just What Heaven Means To Me
He Was Waiting At The Alter For Me
Crossing That Awful Dead Line
Where We'll Never Grow Old
Steal Away And Pray
Who'll Sing For Me
A Pretty Wreath For Mother's Grave
Too Much To Gain To Lose
Unclouded Day
What Will You Do
That's Just His Way Of Telling Me
He Loves Me
