God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw his tired face



He put his arms around him
And lifted him to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best



He knew that he was suffering
He knew he was in pain
He knew that he would never
Get well on earth again



He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed his weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace Be Thine"



It broke our hearts to lose him
But he didn't go alone
For part of us went with him
The day God called him home.


Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say


Surrounded by friends
yet all alone
the one I loved
God has called home

the hugs of friends
helps ease the pain
and I know my loss
is my loved one's gain

but tears now flow
across my face
as I long for just
one more embrace

then comfort comes
and I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
and I feel God's grace.

Loved Ones Lost,
Hostage to a darkness no one can comprehend.

Learning to live without you is the hardest work we've ever done.
Thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
If Only-- But wishing on last night's star won't change tomorrow's dawn.
The future and all its possibilities died with their smiles.
Step into the Garden
With warmth a special glow
Hands reach out to help you
Everyone you know
The song you are hearing is One Sweet Day  by Mariah Carey
