God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered Come to Me, You tried so hard to stay with us, But your fight was all in vain, God took you in His loving arms, And freed you from your pain, You didnt deserve what you went through, And so He gave you rest, Heavens music will be beautiful, Cause now He has the best.?
