"Come With Me"
God saw she was getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arm around her
And whispered "Come With Me."
With tearful eyes we watched
Her suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her dearly
We could not make her stay.
Her golden heart stopped beating
Hard-working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best...
