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 place at the close of the 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 seemed all to 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. |
