God Saw You Getting Tired

God saw you getting tired,
and a cure was not to be;
so He put His arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away;
and although we love you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
