Featured here is a copy of the song's lyrics, handwritten and signed by Davis in blue ink on a sheet of personal stationary, in Excellent condition with light overall tanning and staple holes to the top right corner. Also included is Davis' 1997 Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame inductee medal, also in Excellent condition.
