"FarewellMy Family"
Farewell myfamily, dont weep For Im at peace now, just asleep. Farewell myfamily, Im not alone The Mighty "Maker" has led me safely home. Just think back over the many years, How the family seemed so strong, holding back tears. Yet God somehow always made a way And I thanked Him every nightfor another day. Be good myfamily, always love each other Be strong myfamily, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part. And ifsomewhere I made a mistake As you live many will you make. Farewell myfamily, Ive been called away.
Walk with God, trust in God For He is by your side.
