God saw him getting tired, a cure was not to be
He wrapped him in His loving arms and whispered, “Come with Me.”
He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend
He faced his pain with courage, until the very end.
He tried so hard to stay with us, his fight was not in vain
God took him to His loving arms and freed him from the pain.
