I'm Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now. He set me free.
