I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me now, for now I’m Free
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it up with remembered joys
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes these things I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life’s been full, I’ve savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my life seemed all to brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, he set me free.
