I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path that 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 and love, to work or play,
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found the place at the close of day.
If parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembering joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured 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 heart and share with me.
God wanted me now. He set me free.
Don’t stand at my grave and cry:
I am not there, I did not die!
