CALLED HOME It's time you came to be with me, Jesus said so tenderly. The Father said, it's time to go, I cannot let you suffer so. So understand that she is gone, you will have to carry on. She'll rest in peace with all her love, Watching you from up above. Your guardian angel at you side, Someone in whom you can confide. She'll wipe away the tears you cried, To help you through the pain you hide. She'll hold you hand oh so tight, To help you make it through the night. If it were within her power, She would give you one more hour. So stop your tears, you cry in vain, God knows your fragile hearts in pain. Your little girl has been called home, Where God will love her, as his own.
