We little knew that morning
That God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You’re always at our side.

And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
Verse John 3.16
