Don’t grieve me, for now i am free

I’m following the path god has laid you to see.

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, and to play.

tasks 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 with remembered joy.

lift your hearts and peace to thee

god wanted me now; he set me free.
