Galations 5:22-23 (RSVB)
"God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come with Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
And though we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best."
