John 14:27-29

27 Peace I Leave with you: my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 28 "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

God saw you getting tired

When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped His arms around you,

And whispered, "Come unto me,"

You didn't deserve what you went through,

And so He gave you rest.

God's garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

So when I saw you sleeping,

So peaceful and free from pain.

I could not wish you to come back,

to suffer that all again.
