“God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around him, And whispered “Come with me”, With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away,
Although we love him dearly, We could not make him stay, A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best,
Although his heart stopped beating, His love will always remain, His absence puts upon our hearts, A very heavy strain, For now he is in a place of everlasting rest, We just have to understand that God, He only takes the best.”
