I'm Free 
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free 
I'm following the path God has laid you see. 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, 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 Oh 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 too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee 
God wanted me now; He set me free.
