A Mother's Song

I used to hold your hand,
Now I hold on to hope
That I'll see you again some day.
Knowing that you're still mine
Has helped me to cope
Now that you're gone away.

Too lovely, too pure
To stand this world of sin.
So God called you home
To live safely with him.
While it's true, I miss you,
I know I'll see you again.
And if I live faithfully
I can raise you then.

Through sacred priesthood powers
We have all been sealed
As a family forever.
When I see you again
My heart will be healed
And we'll be together.

Too lovely, too pure
To stand this world of sin.
So God called you home
To live safely with him.
While it's true, I miss you,
I know I'll see you again.
And if I live faithfully,
I can raise you then.

I know while I'm still here
God will take care of you
As you're waiting for me.
I know I must work hard.
I know I must stay true,
So you'll be mine for eternity.

Too lovely, too pure
To stand this world of sin.
So God called you home
To live safely with him.
While it's true, I miss you,
I know I'll see you again.
And if I live faithfully
I can raise you then.

I know God has a plan.
I must do what I can
To return home to him.
I know you're in his care.
I know I'll find you there
When I come home to him.
