The Readings

God looked around his garden

Read by Mark Ritchie
God looked around his garden and found an empty place , He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face . He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest . God ’ s garden must be beautiful he always takes the best . He knew that you were suffering he knew you were in pain . He knew that you would never get well on earth again . He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb , so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered , “ Peace be thine ”. It broke your hearts to loose you but you didn ’ t go alone , for part of us went with you the day God called you home .
