A Place In Heaven God Wanted You To Fill
We prayed for you to be healed
If it was God's will
But there was a place in Heaven
He wanted you to fill
Over the years you fought sickness
At times you won
For you were touched
By God's Holy Son
Then the sickness returned
And filled your body with pain
For just a little longer with us
You would remain
God looked down
And saw you now tired and weak
The sickness that was with you
Left you unable to speak
God saw that
Your suffering continued to grow
He knew your heart
And knew you were ready to go
So God called your name
And as the angels took you to the other side
You were greeted by Jesus
Waiting there with arms open wide
Jesus carried you gently
To your beautiful new home
You are viewing your treasures
Which here have never been known
We will all miss you
In our hearts you will remain
But we would not bring you back
To this world filled with pain
We loved you then
We love you still
But there was a place in Heaven
God wanted you to fill
