As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, Heaven Was There, LFLP 15

I CANNOT BRING THEM BACK
(H. W. Vanhoose)

Though the tears oft dim my eyes, I'm happy in my soul
I'm thinking of my friends who walk the Streets of Gold
Since Jesus called them Home, they're living there with Him
I cannot bring them back, but I can go to them

Yes, so many precious friends, and many loved ones, too
Are waiting now for me somewhere beyond the blue
Our Savior called them Home to live up there with Him
I cannot bring them back, but I can go to them

Oh, I've wept for loved ones gone, but I'll weep for them no more
They're resting now in peace on God's eternal shore
They're satisfied up there, where everything is good
I cannot bring them back, I would not if I could

Yes, so many precious friends, and many loved ones, too
Are waiting now for me somewhere beyond the blue
Our Savior called them Home to live up there with Him
I cannot bring them back, but I can go to them
