,rI havefought a goodfight, I havefinished my course, I have kept thefaith:"
2 Timothy 4:7
T ributefr o m K eith & Jam al...
"Fear not;fo r I am withyou, be not dismayed, fo r I amyou r God;
I will strengthenyou, I will helpyou, I will uphold you with M y victorious right hand. "
Isaiah 41:10
God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered,
"come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest. God's garden must be
beautiful, He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free -from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
