God looked around His garden And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth And saw Clay Berlings’ face.
He put His arm around him, And lifted him to rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
