I'm Free By Shannon Lee Moseley Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has chosen 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've found now peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, Look for the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch, Perhaps my time seems all too brief; Don't lengthen your time with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now - He set me free 2 Timothy 4:7 - "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept faith."
