God Knows All
God Knew how much I was suffering,
He saw I was putting up a good fight!
He said Suffer little children, come unto me,
I will give you rest, I know what is right.
He came and put my ticket in my hand,
And said no more suffering, no more pazn.
Come on home to y our mansion in heaven,
You have a lot to gain.
I fought a little harder, I wasn 't ready to go.
God knew what was bestfor me.
So to myfriends andfamily I say farewell,
I have pain and suffering no more.
I love you all!!!

I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God made for me I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all. To love, to work, to play My tasks left undone Must now stay that way.
If my parting has left a void in your life, then fill my space with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh, yes these things I too will miss. Do not worry, and do not sorrow
Because my friend I wish you The sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been lived, I've enjoyed much Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Although my time seemed all to fast Just think of the good times we had in the past.
Lift up your hands and share with others. I'm free, God wants me home.
