God 's Garden God look around and found an empty place. He then looked down upon earth, and saw your tired face He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest; God's garden most be beautiful – He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain; He knew you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and hills were hard to climb, So, he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be Thine." It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, For a part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
