Farwell a child

She's honest and true, and I can't lie.

She's my baby, so what should I do?

It breaks my heart to see her cry.

I must explain with words that are true.

She's waiting for me outside the door,

My little angel, happy at play-

My little girl that I adore.

How can I tell her? What do I say?

I saw the doctor early today.

My baby just won't understand why

He said I'd soon be going away.

How do I say, "I'm going to die"?

I've told her before, everyone dies,

But only the body goes to rest.

The soul is not where the body lies,

But departs to meet one final test.

This isn't the end. It's but a door.

My body will set my spirit free,

And the soul will live for evermore

In the place God made for me.

I know you'll keep in your memory

The part of me you really love.

My soul, my spirit - what's really me

Is not in the grave, but lives above.

I know it is hard to say, "Good-bye".

I know you'll miss me holding you tight.

Now, it's okay if you want to cry,

But trust in God, and you'll be all right.
