A million times we’ve needed you,
A million times we’ve cried.
If love alone could’ve 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 place,
No one else will 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.

We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all your good years,
your bad and your lean years,
your laughter and your tears.
I’ll remember how you came through it all,
standing so tall,
never complaining,
because you were too tough to fall.
I’ll remember how you always had time
for a friend, a smile and a helping hand.
You were a big, big-hearted man.
Yes, we’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all the funny things
you used to say and do
and all the wonderful times that we shared, too.
Yes, I’ll remember from day to day,
and I just want to say
We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
thanks for being my friend.

God looked around His garden
and He found an 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 that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you but
you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
