God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
So he put arms around you and whispered “Come to me”
With tearful eyes we watched
and saw you pass away
And although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay“
A golden heart stopped beating”
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
