Tareweff My Tamiiy
Farewell my family, don't weep For I 'm at peace now, just asleep. Farewell my fam ily, I'm not alone The Mighty "M aker" has led me safely home. Just think back over the many years, How the family seemed so strong, holding back tears. Yet G od somehow always made a way A n d I thanked Him every night for another day. Be good my fam ily, always love each other Be strong my fam ily, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part. A n d if somewhere l made a mistake A s you live many will you make. Farewell my fam ily, I've been called away.
W alk with G od , trust in G od For H e is by your side.
