I just cameto stay a little r,vhile,only to bide my time.
I gavemy all in what I did, to help and carefor others.
But lvhenthe Lord took my betterhalf,
In rvhichI caredso dearly,
Then I knervthat only rvouldI.rest,
When rve rvereboth together.
My mind and my body n,antedto bs at rest,
And I know it r'vouldn'tbe long,
For I longedfor the Lord to take me
And I thankedHim for lifc itself.
For only God giveth and taketh,
'l'hat
rvhichis in His plan,
So norvthat I haveleft you, I hopeyou rvill understand.
That I havejoined my other loved ones,
That havegoneon before.For rve are with the Master,
Who hasgiven us, the gift of peace.
