“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 God Saw the Road God saw the road was getting rough the hills were hard to climb He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, “Peace Be Thine” The weary hours, the days of pain, The sleepless nights are passed. The ever patient, worn out frame Has found sweet rest at last If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane We would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more to remember all the happy times Life still has much in store Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay.
