Please do not cry for me,
I am cradled in the arms
Of God, you see.
Do not mourn for me,
As hard as it may be.
Know how much I loved you,
Just as I know how
Much you loved me.
My journey was oh so long
And weary, a body racked with
Pain and disease,
But I ran the race and I
Fought the battle,
Never ceasing to keep my faith.
God saw how weary and
Broken my earthly body
Had become,
A gentle tend voice whispered
“Child I love you,
It’s time to come home.”
