The day God took you home
A million times
we needed you
A million times we cried,
If love alone
Could have saved you
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a space,
Where no one can ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
