Farewell my family, dont weep For I am at peace now just asleep Farewell my family, Im not alone The mighty maker has led me safely home. Just think back over the many years, How the family seems 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 a thoughtful sister, a kind brother Be strong my family, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part And if somewhere I made mistake As you live many will you make. Farewell my family, Ive been called away
Walk with God, trust in God.
