• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

He put his arm around her, then squeezed her hand
Tried to give her comfort, hoped she’d understand
He leaned and whispered to her, reached out to dry her tears
Did the best he could to quiet all her fears

Everyone said what a tragedy
But he couldn’t help but feel he was right where he should be
When the preacher started singing....

Oh sweet Jesus, full of grace
Let our souls abide in thee
Take us to our final resting place
Forever more, Lord be with me

Rain rolled like thunder off the umbrella crowd
He didn’t hear the final words, the drops hit so loud
He was so attentive to her every need
He never felt so close and then they turned to leave

He tried to follow, asking them to wait
But he couldn’t pass through the cemetery gate
He joined the angels singing.....

Oh sweet Jesus, full of grace
Let our souls abide in thee
Take us to our final resting place
Forever more, Lord be with me

Forever more, Lord be with me
