The Broken Chain
We little knew that evening that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our Family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.

and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our Family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.
