So she was born, the broken child
who all soon grew to love
'shes only here on loan ' God said
borrowed from above

That others could exist in life
and not respect their gift
she would take such care with life
if only she could live it

The last night of her tiny life
was just like many others
she leaves them broken hearted
sisters, brothers, father, mother

They mourned her as she left them
and claimed her right to die
life surrendered, canceled
their all left to wonder why

They swept up their shattered hearts
and packed their love away
'We want no part of you Lord' they cried
their faith had truly gone astray

So the lord spoke to the dad
'where is your faith my son'?
as i chose you for this precious task
I knew you were the one

To the child's dear mother
'so important is a mothers job
thanks for a job well done'
did you realize when she came here
she was my chosen one?
I gave her to you for awhile
She struggled to teach you all
that when this much love surrounds someone
You cant ever fall

Try everyday to support each other
make sure your love is free
while you take the time to heal
this broken family tree
give each other trust and love
dry your eyes and see
what a precious gift, i gave you all
this beautiful family tree

As she leaves them, the child ascends
the way to her is known
the sweet baby child he loaned them
was finally called home

and so without  a further pause
she sees her Savior's face
and at the right hand of the lord
she takes her rightful place

time heals hearts and lessens grief
a quiet peace gives Way
listen as choirs of angels welcome her
she is finally home to stay

To those she loved and left, to them she has to say

'Thank you all for loving me, guess what? My body its all pain free
I don't have any trouble breathing now, my lord took care of me. I can
laugh  and i don't cough, i can fly and run and sing, I'll see you all again
someday, remember this one thing. I'm watching all of you, hold on to faith you'll see, That when Jesus calls his children home, you can all sit right next to me.
