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
