Lord, don't take him away,
The love you gave me on that day.
You gave my heart a great lift,
When you sent him as a gift.
I know it would break my heart
If he and I should ever part.
I can't bear to see him go,
For I'd be left here all alone.
Together we share so much love,
Please don't take him up above.
He's always been here for me,
I know our love will always be.
I know you'll do what is right.
So, God, I beg of you tonight,
You know how much I love him so,
Now I plead don't let him go.
I don't know what I would do,
If you take him home with you.
But I'll know that he's up there,
He'll be safe within your care.
If you need him there with you,
Then there's nothing I can do.
If you feel he must go,
Then, Dear Lord, I will know,
That you will be here everyday.
To always show me the way.
Then one day we'll meet again,
When he comes to take my hand.
While you sit there up above,
Please, don't take my love.
Now to my knees I must go,
And ask you, God, don't let him go.
