Just close your eyes
And open your heart
And feel your worries
And cares depart,
Just yield yourself
To the Father above
And let him hold you
Secure in His love –
For life on earth
Grows more involved
With endless problems
That can’t be solved –
But God asks us to do our best,
Then he will “take overâ€쳌
And finish the rest.
In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away
Our hearts were fully broken
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful free of pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
A million times we needed you,
One million times we cried,
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
