It appears to be from a poem 'The day God called you home', specifically from 4th verse:
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, 'Peace by Thine'.
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, 'Peace by Thine'.
God looked around his garden,
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this Earth,
And saw your tired.
He put his arms around you.
And lifed you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful.
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, 'Peace by Thine'.
It broke our heats to lose you.
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you.
The day God called you home.
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this Earth,
And saw your tired.
He put his arms around you.
And lifed you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful.
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, 'Peace by Thine'.
It broke our heats to lose you.
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you.
The day God called you home.
