God saw she was getting tiredAnd a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around herAnd whispered "Come with me."
With tearful eyesWe watched her sufferAnd saw her fade away
Although we loved her dearly,We would not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to usHe only takes the best.
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also
in Me.
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
-John 14:1-2
