God brought me to you
To hold your hand tight;
To be by your side
As your spirit began to fly.
To hold your hand tight,
Tight as I could hold it.
As your spirit began to fly
Hold my hand for the last time.
I held your hand tight;
You’ve been with me all my life.
Hold my hand for the last time,
I want to be with you for forever.
You’ve been with me all my life.
We wanted things to change.
I want to be with you for forever,
As I held your hand tight.
We wanted things to change,
These were trying times.
As I held your hand tight,
I knew I had to say goodbye.
These were trying times,
But you were ready, you had no fear.
I knew the end was near, because
I saw confidence in your eyes.
But you were ready, you had no fear
The time came, your journey ended,
I saw confidence in your eyes
As I held your hand tight.
The time came, your journey ended,
Seeing your last breath, I held you hand.
As I held your hand tight,
I knew this was a new beginning.
