If I Die Before My Time

If I die before my time
Read this to anyone who will listen
God didn't call me home
I went there voluntary

I asked God to take me away
To protect the ones I love
I didn't want to hurt my loved ones
So it was better that I went away

I'll smile down upon them
And bless their lives
I'll wipe their tears away
Each time that they cry

Before I leave this place
I want to say I'm sorry
Sorry for the things I said
That made you sad or angry

Sorry for the pain I caused
When I wasn't fully honest
Sorry for causing you to cry
When you felt like I didn't love you

Please know this before I die
I loved you more than ever
If only God would allow me to
I'd turn back the hands of time

But what's done is done
What's said has been said
I know I hurt you many times
But please keep me in your heart

For when God
Calls you Home
I'll be there waiting
Waiting with open arms
