"I'm Free"
Don 't grieve for me, for now I'mfree. 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 play
Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace 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, 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've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too 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.
