Don’t grieve for me now that I’m free,
I’m following paths God made for me.
I took His hand, I heard Him call,
Then turned and bid farewell to all
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found my peace at close of day.
If my parting left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened deep with sorrow,
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve 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 wants me now
He set me free.
