Recessional
God called you home at the twinkle of an eye. There was no time for me to say " good-bye"
A million times I needed you ... A million, I have cried.
If loving you could have saved you, You would have never died. I miss you more .. . My heart is sore,
As times goes by, I'll miss you more. A heart of gold has stopped beating.
Two eyes closed to rest. God broke my heart, but proved to me ...
He only takes the best.
We'll Miss You D-Boi
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has 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 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, these things I, too will miss. Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish you sunshine for tomorrow. My life's been full, I've 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 heads and share with me, God wanted me now.
He Set Me Free!
