God Saw You

God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be

So, he wrapped his arms around you and whispered, “Come to me”

You didn’t deserve what you went through, so he gave you rest

God’s garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best

And when I saw you sleeping,

so peaceful and free from pain

I could not wish back to suffer again
