D o n 't grieve for m e, for now I 'm free I 'm follow ing th e p a th God has laid for me.
I took His hand w hen I heard H im call I tu rn ed m y back and left it all.
I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play, Tasks left undone m ust stay th a t way I found peace at the end of the day.
If m y parting has left a void T hen fill it w ith rem em bered joys A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened w ith tim es of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tom orrow,
M y life's been full, I savored m uch, G ood friends, good tim es, a loved one's to u ch .
Perhaps m y tim e seemed all too brief D o n 't len g th en it now w ith u n d u e g rief Lift up your hearts, and share w ith me, God w anted me now, H e has set me free.
