I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me 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
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 close of day
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friend shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah 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’ve savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me
God wanted me now
He set me free
