"For there is nothing cov ered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known." Luke 12:2

He is gone, he is gone, God saw and chose a favorite one. The earth will claim its own. Think of shouting around the throne, While we ere left to mourn.
God saw you getting tired, a cure was not to be, He put his arms around you, and you whispered "come with me"
With tears we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away
Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest.
God brotke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.
