Not A Care In The World

Not a care in the world, they have all dropped away. I am high in the hills, I am happy today. Not a care in the -world! I am down by the sea, with the wind and the waves, Telling me I am free. Not a care in the world, in the silence Ive entered and my heart and my head, on the Father Ive centered. Not a care in the world! All the work now is done, by the Father within and the victory won.

God saw you getting weary He did what He thought best He came and stood beside you, Then whispered softly, "Come and Rest. "
You bid no one farewell, Not even a sad goodbye You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For a part ofus went with you, The day God called you home. God gave us the strength to bear it, Courage to take the blow, But what it meant to lose you, Only God will know.
