Asleep I've closed my eyes and fallen asleep. So there's no reason for you to weep. This is a debt we all must pay, But it is a sweet and peaceful way. I've endured pain and sometimes even sorrow. Now I don't have to worry about tomorrow. But life for you must now go on. You must not worry because I'm gone. You stood beside me all the way. When I was down you knew just what to say. You always told me to get some rest. Let me sleep now, I've done my best. So Please, let me rest in peace. The tears you're shedding will one day cease. You'll soon realize this was meant to be. Just thank the Lord that He came for me.
