God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around
You and whispered
“Come with Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry,
I’m in God’s keeping,
We’ll meet again someday.”
