Rita

Lay down softly in our sorrow
 Lay down sister to die
 And cover over, my sweet Father
 Cover over her eyes
 Your broken body, it cannot weather
 The years your youth still longs to spend
 So go down graceful, sleep with the angels
 And wake up whole again
 'Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line
 A fallen world took your life
 But the God that sometimes can't be found
 Will wrap Himself around you
 So lay down, sister, lay down
 Slower passing are the hours
 To tell this tale that takes its time
 But the finest moment, no man can measure
 Is to look your Savior in the eyes
 So take her tender to Your table
 Take her from this killing floor
 To taste the water that is forever
 Let her be thirsty no more
 It was not her time; that's a useless line
 A fallen world took her life
 But the God that sometimes can't be found
 Will wrap Himself around you
 So lay down, sister, lay down
 And the God that sometimes can't be found
 Will wrap Himself around you
 So lay down, Rita, lay down
