Benediction
"3J'm jfree"
Don't grieve for me 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 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, those 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've savored much, Good Friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me ..... .
God wanted me now; He set me free.
