I was the chaplain from Sterling, and I hope that you will find God's peace.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the faith God laid 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 found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss--
Ah, yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you 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 too brief.
Don't lengthen it with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wants me now. He set me free.
