I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free:

I took His hand and when I heard Him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

If my parting has left a void;

then fill it with remembered joy.

My life’s been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;

don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me;

God wanted me now,

He set me free.
