Farewell my family, don't weep For I 'm at peace now, just asleep. Farewell my family, I'm 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 night for another day. Be good my family, always love each other Be strong my family, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part. And if somewhere I made a mistake As you live many will you make. Farewell my family, I 've been called away.
Walk with God, trust in God For He is by your side.
