MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY


MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

Linger for awhile with us men

Your friends savor your presence

Influenced by words you spoke

Lessons learned of your life shared

My BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

The men of this table wish to tell

Each of us with a different story

Some men with tears you did share

Others the joy of Heavens laughter

MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

Is your work here complete?

As the LORD calls you once more

Go to the place I will show you

Again his command you obey

MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

We ask in our own selfish desire

There is more from you to know

More mountain tops to be reached

Valleys only friends can carry thru

MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

NO! You must leave us behind

A New life awaits your arrival

GOD’s plan requires you leave

To find another table of men

MY BROTHER CAN’T YOU STAY

The answers rest cold on our lips

Causing sadness in our hearts

For we know what you must say

Goodbye my brothers goodbye

MY BROTHERS I CAN’T STAY
