He Gave His Life
He Gave His LIFE
My tired old eyes lit up bright.
A thankful tear, I could not hide.
A sweet sences of peace fills my heart;
because He gave His LIFE for us.
Living at home with my wife;
having only a few family left, He is.
Today, with a smile, on his face with a glow;
because He gave His LIFE for us.
He brings him often to his kneews.
Today, one extra for his brother and sister.
Talking, on to the Lord he goes on;
because He gave His LIFE for us.
He asked his wife to read a verse.
By his chair the gift he placed.
Happy and peaceful then he dozes;
because He gave His LIFE for us.
His final breath tonight was peaceful.
His family missed him, but to meet again.
His last day was joyful, all of heaven now knows;
because He gave His LIFE for us.
