God came and took me home. I am okay now, I 'm not alone. No more suffering, no more pain, no more crying, sheltered from the rain. I am full o f life now more than ever, And one day again, we'll be together. I m in a wonderful place, nothing like from where I came; Here is everlasting life, and for you will be the same. I know you're hurting, but your weeping won't last, Joy will come tomorrow and all your sorrows will pass. Please don't worry, I'm in a better place; My God came and saved me with his amazing grace. For I am in Heaven, no more pain to endure, 1will be with my father forevermore.
Love Blaine Written by: Tameka Brooks
