Sometimes it's hard to understand why certain things must be,
but there is a reason for everything, beyond our power to see,
God saw that she was suffering, her weary hours, her weary nights are now past.
Her ever-patient worn-out frame had found sweet rest at last.
For we know she is Shouting and Singing in the Heavenly Choir.
