FAREWELL FAREWELL
I knew this day that you'd be leaving
I saw it there upon your face
the final journey that you'd be taking
another time, another place
I know you suffered awesome pain
I heard it oft time in your voice
I knew this time that you'd be leaving
and this time you had no choice
My love for you is like no other
I've loved you so much all my life
but you've suffored so many years now
and the pain cuts like a knife
God is good, for he will take you
and all your hurting wil lbe gone
you'll go and find your marble mansion
and you'll hear the angels song
Tell me now, my little sister
will you sometimes think of me
your little hands on earth were feeble
but now you're spirit's been set free
Today I saw the black hearse rolling
out to your final resting place
and as I sit here in the silence
I still see your smiling loving face
Tell Mom and Daddy, that I love them
and that soon, I'll be with them
when Jesus takes my spirit homeward
and forgives my aweful sins
Farewell, farewell, you know I'll miss you
you've brought such joy through the years
my heart is breaking as your leaving
and I'm blinded by my tears
Now I look upward toward bright heaven
is that your spirit rising high
I know now, that you are happy
but I'll mourn for you until I die
As you fly high, up their in glory
oh, all the wonders that you'll see
so place a candle there in the window
for to light the way for me
Soon you'll be singing songs of Jesus
as you praise His holy name
and as your spirit soars ever upward
I know
my life will never be the same
