I’m FreeI’m FreeI’m FreeI’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, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, O 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 one’s 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 wanted me now: He set me free…
