J'm Free
Don'tgrievefor 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 play,
Tasks left undone must stay that way Ifound peace at the end ofthe day.
If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh 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 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 hearts, and share with me, God wanted me NOW, He has set me free.
