F#m C#7
Why did You take her from this life?
F#m C#7
I keep on thinkin’ it’s not right.
D F#m7
She was so young;
D A/C# E
She wasn’t done livin’ her life.
F#m C#7
I cannot see this in Your plans:
F#m C#7
Why You would take her from our hands.
D F#m7
Such a dear friend—
D A/C# E
Why did this end so tragically?
F#m D E E7
And I keep on wonderin’ why You took her away.
A D
You loved her; You wanted her
E E7
To be with You now and forever.

We miss her but can see her
E E7
All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.

We all will miss her smiling face
F#m C#7
And the love in her embrace.
D F#m7
She was so kind;
D A/E C#7/F
She kept her mind in the right place.
F#m C#7
So many people that she touched:
F#m C#7
All of them she loved so much.
D F#m7
So ready to go—
D A/C# E
But didn’t know she’d go so soon.
F#m D E E7
But I think I know now why You took her away.
A D
You loved her; You wanted her
E E7
To be with You now and forever.
A D
We miss her but can see her
E E7
All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.
A D
She’s with You; She loves You.

She’s so glad to be with her Savior.

We miss her but can see her

All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.
