"We Understand"
At first, we couldn't understand it
Just why He took you away.
But we stopped and remembered God's word
We're only here for a short stay.
Life. here, can be sweet and beautiful
But in Heaven, far sweeter there
No heartaches, no burden, no worries,
No pains, no toils, no cares.
We pray that our lives will be well spent
With love in our hearts as he,
For God is so good and so gracious
And loves us all tenderly.
