Close By Where My Child Would Die
Close By Where My Child Would Die
Were close by where my child had died,
While I always did feel so dreary inside;
Remember day;
Sad and gray,
And to stop my crying I tried and tried.
Death happened very quick and instant;
God told me what would be His intent;
With His grace,
Bring to new place;
From all our sins must be sure to repent.
Into a new life in heaven had been born;
Peace will abound that excluded all scorn;
Finally free;
Will always be,
And in our front yard flowers still do adorn.
Together in heaven is where we have been;
Then God prevented the presence of all sin,
And down below,
I did die also;
Now my son and I are back together again.
