2 Timothy 4:6-7

"For l am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"

I'm Free

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

I'm following the path GOD has laid for me

 I took his hand when I heard him call

 I turned my back & left it all

I could not say another day

To laugh, to love to work, to play

 Task left undone must stay that way

 I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void

 Then fill it remembering Joy

& friendship 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's been full, I savored much

 Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief

 Don't lengthen it now with undue grief

 Lift up your hearts & peace to thee

GOD wanted me now: He set me free.
