Nearer to thee Lord I know she has gone,
As from this earth my little one has past.
Thank you Father for her joy I've known.

Without you I would forever be lost.
In your hands let me find comfort Lord.
Drawn closer to you now, but at what cost?

Oh my heart, an emptiness and loss I feel.
Bare my burden Lord, a little longer,
for these things I know you can heal.

Dear God, far too short a while was she mine.
All gifts come from the Father.
What is a day, week, month, eternity? ...just time.

My precious little one, I no longer hear.
Crying heart, listen... be silent now.
Trusting in Him I will no longer shed a tear.
