LOVING ARMS

When God saw you getting tired

And the cure was not to be

He wrapped his loving arms around you

And whispered come with me

You did not deserve what you went through

So he gave you rest at last

God's garden must be beautiful

For he only takes the best

You are not truly gone from us

For your love still lights the way

In every memory we cherish

And every word we pray

Though our hearts are filled with sorrow

And our tears may freely fall

We find comfort in knowing

You are at peace beyond it all

One day we'll meet again in heaven

Where pain and parting sease

Until that will hold you close

And rest your soul in peace.
