In God's Care (1998/11/11) Lyrics

[Tin Man]

When you were born
You're parents took you to the church
To be baptized
Oh, they were wise
That Sunday morn
The Reverend dedicated you
Into God's care
And it was fair

While growing up
Your parents took you to the church
To learn of Christ
They thought it wise
So looking up
You prayed to Jesus that He'd come
And meet you there
You knew He'd care

In God's care
Your life was heading there
You knew it even from your birth
Until the time you'd meet him
In the air

And then you wed
You met the one you knew you'd love
For all your life
As man and wife
And in your head
You knew in times of strife when
Life was so unfair
That God was there

In God's care
Troubles come and troubles go
But why they do, for all you know
It is the way God makes you grow
If you dare

Now you're gone
You've passed into the life beyond
The one you lived
Oh what a gift
To meet the Son
Given freely when invited
In your heart
In every part

In God's care
Embroidered on your casket lid
These words I read above your head
Describing more than can be said
About your life

In Loving Memory of
Muriel McEwen
