God saw you getting tired
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
Come to Me.
With tearful eyes we watch you
and saw you pass away
and although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden hear
t
stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove us
he only takes the best.
