He only takes the best
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be;
So he put His arm around you
and whispered, “Come to Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
