God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you,
And whispered "Come with Me."
A golden heart stopped beating
Your gentle hands at rest
God broke my heart and proved to me
He only takes the best!
In tears I saw you fading
I watched you drift away
My heart was almost broken
You fought so hard to stay.
But when I saw you sleeping
In peace and free from pain
I did not wish you back
To suffer that again.
So keep your arms around him, Lord
And give him special care
Make up for all the moments
When life seemed so unfair.
So many times I needed you
So many times I cried
If loving could have saved you
You would have never died.
