Forever In Our Hearts
God looked around his garden
And he found a empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."
He then took you up to Heaven
With hand Gentle and so Kind
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God took you Home.

GO REST HIGH UPON THAT MOUNTAIN
VINCE
GILL
I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest
high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the Father and the Son
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the Father and the Son. |
