God Saw You Getting Tired 
God saw you getting tired 
and a cure was not to be 
so he put his arms around you 
and whispered, Come to Me 
With tearful eyes we watched you 
and saw you pass away 
and although we love you dearly 
we could not make you stay. 
A Golden heart stopped beating 
hard working hands at rest. 
God broke our hearts to prove to us 
He only takes the best
