“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 couldn’t stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work, or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I’ve found peace at the close of the day.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I 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 wants me now…He’s set me free.”
