SHE WAS A BEACON, THAT SHINED SO BRIGHT.
SHE WAS A TEACHER, THAT TAUGHT SOM MANY RIGHT.
SHE WAS A MOTHER AND A FRIEND.
THAT STOOD BY ALL, THROUGH THICK AND THIN.
MANY LOVED HER, THIS I KNOW.
THEY WILL MISS HER AND WITH TEARS THEY WILL SHOW.
BUT SHE HAS GONE, TO A BETTER LAND.
TO STAND WITH JESUS, HAND AND HAND.
WHERE THERE SHE'LL FEEL, NO HURT OR PAIN.
HER LAUGHTER WILL ECHO, LIKE FALLING RAIN.
SO DO NOT WEEP, FOR HER TODAY.
SHE WOULD NOT WANT TEARS, ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.
REMEMBER HER, LIKE SHE USE TO BE.
A SMILE ON HER FACE AND HAPPY WAS SHE.
JUST REMEMBER, IN GODS GREAT PLAN.
HE CALLED FOR HER, SHE TOOK HIS HAND.
JUST LIKE YOU AND I WILL DO.
WHEN HE SAYS OUR TIME IS THROUGH.
SO WEAP NO MORE, DRY YOUR EYES.
FOR SHE IS LOOKING, DOWN FROM THE SKIES.
NOW HER LIFE ON EARTH IS THROUGH.
BUT HER LIFE WAS SPECIAL TOO.
JUST HOLD HER DEAR, TO YOUR HEART.
CLOSE YOUR EYES, SHE'LL NEVER PART.
YOU SEE, GOD CREATED OUR MEMORIES.
SO WE CAN REMEMBER, HER LIFE WITH EASE.
HE DOES NOT WANT US TO FORGET.
WHO SHE WAS OR WHERE SHE WENT.
JUST REMEMBER, HER LOVE WAS TRUE.
ITS JUST GOD SAID, HER TIME WAS THROUGH.
