~ad's ~arden
~ad looked around His garden :And He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth,
:And saw your tired face. He put His arm around you
:And lifred you to rest. ~ad's garden must be beautiful
He always take the best. He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never
~et well on earth again. He say that the road was getting rough,
:And the hills are hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, :And whispered 'Veace be thine" It broke our hearts to lose you
18ut you didn't go alone For part of us went with you %e day ~ad called you home.
