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 place
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
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 savored 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 head and share with me
God wanted me now.
He set me free.
