Inspired by death of Taylor Betts, high school senior, 6-12-07

F#m        C#7
Why did You take her from this life?
F#m        C#7
I keep on thinkin’ it’s not right.
D               F#m7
She was so young;
D          A/C#   E
She wasn’t done livin’ her life.
F#m      C#7
I cannot see this in Your plans:
F#m            C#7
Why You would take her from our hands.
D          F#m7
Such a dear friend—
D           A/C#  E
Why did this end so tragically?

F#m              D          E           E7
And I keep on wonderin’ why You    took her away.

A          D
You loved her; You wanted her
E          E7
To be with You now and forever.
A            D
We miss her but can see her
E              E7
All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.


F#m  C#7   F#m  C#7F#m         C#7
We all will miss her smiling face
F#m           C#7
And the love in her embrace.
D              F#m7
She was so kind;
D        A/E  C#7/F
She kept her mind in the right place.
F#m      C#7
So many people that she touched:
F#m      C#7
All of them she loved so much.
D         F#m7
So ready to go—
D         A/C#  E
But didn’t know she’d go so soon.

F#m               D           E      E7
But I think I know now why You took her away.
A          D
You loved her; You wanted her
E            E7
To be with You now and forever.
A            D
We miss her but can see her
E                 E7
All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.
A            D
She’s with You; She loves You.
E          E7
She’s so glad to be with her Savior.
A           D
We miss her but can see her
E               E7
All wrapped up in the arms of her Savior.
A   D   E   E7     A   D   E   E7    A
