Come With Me
God saw you getting tired
And the cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you
and whispered, “Come with Me”
With tearful hearts we watched you
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hardworking hands to rest.
God broke out hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
