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 over my years, the family seemed so strong, holding back tears. Yet, somehow God 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 you will make. But I know God will forgive. So farewell my family I've been called away. Walk with God, trust in God
for He is by your side.
