~ If Love Alone Could Have Saved You ~

A million times we've needed you, a million we've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you, the day God called you home. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

Ezekiel 16:6

And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, live, yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, LIVE
