God had called me by my name, And down to my house God's angels came They carried me up to my home in the sky, I don't have to suffer- I don't have to cry.
I appreciate your love and all that you 've done, My work here is finished - my victory has been won.
Please live for Jesus in all that you do, And on that great day, you'll see me smile too.
Goodbye my loved ones, family andfriends We will see each other when eternal life begins.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair, Perhaps you sent a floral spray
Ifso, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought ofus that day.
Whatever you 've done to console our hearts, We thank you so much, whatever the part. ~ The Family~
