The Lord is calling now, I must go

but before I do I want you to know

I know it hurts to lose a friend

but I'll always be with you, even to the end.

The time has come, I think you know

the Lord is calling so I must go.

I love you so much; I wish it wasn't so,

I wish I could stay; I don't want to go.

You're the best family a dog ever had

so kind and gentle, never mean or mad.

I'll never forget the day that we met

I was so lucky to become your pet.

You opened your door and showed me your heart.

I'll never forget you; we'll never part.

You loved me and cared for me over the years

you taught me everything and took away my fears.

The tree is all trimmed
The gifts are all wrapped
The hymns are all sung
And the travel plans mapped.

And still there's a sadness
That lies in your heart,
For a cat that was lost
And a love now apart.

A stocking is missing,
With toys and a treat.
A lap is now empty,
A space at your feet.

Yet remember this season
God's small gift to you,
Wonderful memories
To treasure life through.

Have you a dog in Heaven Lord?

And do you pat its head?

Does he sit up and beg each night

before he goes to bed?

Does he look up with shining eyes

when he sees your smiling face?

Does he wag his stubby little tail

when he wants to run a race?

Have you a dog in Heaven, Lord?

Is there room for just one more?

Cause my little dog died today;

he'll be waiting at your door.

Please take him into Heaven, Lord,

And keep him there for me,

just feed him, pet him, love him LOrd,

That's all he'll ask of Thee.
