Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following a 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.

Task 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 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 savoured much.

Good friends, good times,

a loved ones touch,

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me...

God wanted me now,

He set me free
