Be strong dear one for soon will come that day,
When face to face with God you will abide.
Believe in Him and His commands obey.
Though pain is great, remember always pray,
And know that He has heard you when you cried.
Be strong dear one for soon will come that day.
In times like this you cannot fall astray,
When death into your life will soon collide.
Believe in Him and His commands obey.
Next To your bed, you see a fresh bouquet.
A tear runs down, you try so hard to hide.
Be strong dear one for soon will come that day.
You feel a peace and know you cannot stay.
The Lord will call you home right by His side.
Believe in Him and His commands obey.
We’ll miss you but we know that it’s okay,
Because in heav’n with God you do abide.
“Be strong dear one for soon will come that day.
Believe in Him and His commands obey.”
