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 sa w you pass away 
and although we love you dearly 
we could not make you stay. 
A golden heart stopped heating 
hard workin hands at rest 
God broke our hearts to prove to us 
He only takes the best.
