God Saw Him Getting Tired

God saw Alexander was getting tired

When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped His arms around him

And whispered, “Come to Me”.

In tears we saw him sinking,

We watched him fade away.

Our hearts were truly broken,

He fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw Alexander sleeping

Peacefully and free from pain,

We could not wish him back

To suffer that again.

So keep Your arms around Alexander, Lord,

And give him special care,

Make up for all he suffered,

That seemed to us unfair.

So many times we’ve needed him,

So many times we’ve cried.

If love could have saved him,

Alexander never would have died.
