My Dad Joe and incredible man
way back in he's wonderful mind
A condidion kicks in of an
unimaginable kind.

Cancer is its name, pain is what it
causes,it acts as an unthinkable game
for it never pauses

we didn't see it coming,we had no time to prepare
the cancer took his life as if it did'nt give
a care

As I watch this terrible disease take a one I love
I cant help but ask for strength from the one
up above

For my Dad Joe each breath is weaker than the last
I pray to get help,I pray to cure the past
to God I ask to cure the pain I feel
I asked him for the help
I asked him to heal

I can see it in hes eyes
I can see it on hes face
he's had a happy life
he's ready to finish the race

He's been through so much
Its time for him to go home
to leave behind sorrow and pain and see were happiness and laughter could roam

If I ever need to talk to him
I'II just look up at the stars
He'll be there to listen
He'll be right next to God

This day I wish I could forget
I wish to leave it all behind
I wish to have a life recorder so I could just push rewind

So God we need you now please take him by the hand
take him up to where he belongs help him
to understand

Now the memorises will always linger they'll never go away
You'll have them to love and remember to start a brand new
Day

The hurt we are all feeling now wont go away overnight but
someway,somehow everthing will turn out allright

He's now seated at the right hand
were one day we'll meet again
The Lord is with you Dad he welcomes you home
Heaven is your home now and God is your savour
God loves you Dad and he is proud to bring you home

Its hard letting you go Dad but I trust in God and I belive
he has you home
your sprit lives on and your soul forever will rest in the
presences of the lord

we will always love and miss you Dad
and always remember that smile,that caring heart that warm embrace
you always gave us and we will look forward to the day we can
be with you in heaven
