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.ì³
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
