Last Words To a Loved One
Hush now, close your tired eyes
For tomorrow there will be brighter skies
Rest now, for you have made your mark
You will be remembered when it all turns dark
Hush now, the pain will end I swear
I will remain by your side, for I am always there
Rest now, for you have had your time
And I know you are young and in your prime.
Hush now, for you are journey bound
Take his hand and follow, rise off the ground
Rest a while; you don’t have to fear any more
God’s love awaits you through his glittering door
Hush now; listen to the angelic call from above
With you always, in every whisper with all their love
Rest now, for his arms will embrace you always
We love you and will miss you throughout our lonely days
