I'm Free Don't grieve for me from pain I'm free I'm following the path God laid you see. I took His hand when I heard His call I turned around 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 the peace on a sunny day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys. A family 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 has been full, I savoured much Good family, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undo grief Lift up your hearts and peace to Thee. God wanted me now: From pain I'm free.
