Why God decided to take your hand,
And lead you into heaven above.
Surrounded by his tender love.
Never does a day pass by,
That we don't ask the question, Why?
Why did God take our precious son?
Was it something we had done?
We hope to face the Lord one day,
And ask him why you couldn't stay
on earth with those who loved you so
and wanted just to see you grow.
We mourn for things that will not be,
For things with you, we'll never see.
Your wife and child we'll never share,
For special times when you won't be there.
No more to see your smiling face,
Nothing will ever take its place.
In our hearts you will always stay
While we await that "One Sweet Day".
That "One Sweet Day" in heaven above,
where we will meet and affirm our love.
Once more our arms will hold you tight,
As in God's presence we'll reunite.
Until that day we must live our lives.
Ensuring each memory of you survives
And feel your presence, ever near
Each time we shed each painful tear.
"See you in Heaven" you'll hear us say
As you watch over us each day.
Then when our lives on earth are done,
We know you'll be the one to come.
You'll take us gently by the hand,
And lead us to God's Heavenly land.
Where all together we will be,
Our, once more, happy family.
