I’m free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see
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 found that peace at the close of the 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 of sorrow
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 peace to thee
God wants me now , I’m home safe
He set me free !
