GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED
God saw you getting tired, A cure was not to be.
He wrapped you in His loving arms
And whispered 鈥淐ome with Me鈥�.
You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend.
You faced your pain with courage
Until the very end.
You tried so hard to stay with us. Your fight was all in vain.
God took you in His loving arms
And freed you from your pain.
A golden heart stopped beating
Two gentle hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
