God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired,
And the cure was not to be
So He wrapped you in His loving arms
And whispered, "Come with me".
You suffered much in silence,
Your spirit did not bend,
You faced your pain with courage
Until the very end.
You tried so hard to stay with us,
Your fight was not in vain-
God took you in His loving arms
And saved you from all pain. A Celebration of Life to be held at the Westsyde Fellowship Church, 2833 Westsyde Road, Kamloops, B.C. on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
