For Jon

J o h n
by Emily Boothe

She gave
You your name
First word she said to you
It was the last
John

You cried
When you first saw her
You wept
When you saw her last
John

She's gone to be with Jesus
She knew she couldn't stay
But with Jesus in your heart
She can't be far away

God knows she hurt
When she was with us
But now she hurts no more
Her pain has passed



I'll help you
I know you miss her
Be strong, my friend
Life is fast

She gave
You your name
First word she said to you
It was the last
John

In that sweet by and by
On that beautiful shore
in the sweet by and by
He's gonna see here again

In that sweet by and by
On that beautiful shore
in the sweet by and by
She will be waiting for you to come home
