aligncenterGod saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be,

aligncenterSo He put His arms around you, and whispered Come home with me.

aligncenterWith fearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.

aligncenterAnd though we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.

aligncenterA golden heart stopped beating; hard-working hands were put to rest.

aligncenterGod broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
