Come with Me

The lord saw you getting tired.

And a cure was not to be,

So, He put his arms around you

And whispered

‘Come with me’

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer

And saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating

Your beautiful smile at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove,

He always takes the best.

Its lonesome here without you

We miss you so, each day.

Our lives just aren’t the same.

Ever since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong

We hear you gently whisper,

‘Cheer up and carry on.’

Each time we see your picture,

You seem to smile and say

‘Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping,
