I'm Free!
Don 7 grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laidfor 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've found peace at the close of my day.
Ifmy parting has left a void, Then fill it with rememberedjoy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life 's been full, I've savored much, Goodfriends, good times, a loved one 's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don 7 lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, now I'm free!
