I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following a path He chose for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call; 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 peace at the end of the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, please fill it with memories of joy. A friendship shared, a thought, a kiss-oh, yes, these precious things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've been blessed from above, with great family and good friends. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, but don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and be happy for me, God heard my plea and set me free! --- Page 3 --- Order of Celebration Processional Solo... Prayer Scriptures Old Testament. New Testament. Solo.
