I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me for now I’m Free I’m following the path God laid for me. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, or play Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh 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 times, good friends, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
