Do not grieve for me my dear ones, Now that I have gone away.
I have stepped quietly through the door, into the dawn of a brighter day. If you can see the beauty of the garden I am walking through
If you could feel the touch of his hands, You would want to walk here, too.
rt you could see the sunshine and no
dark shadow hurling near. You could know the supreme comfort
I find with my Lord so dear. Where pain can no more touch me,
Where no sorrow can ever be. You would be glad I stepped away!
