Don’t Grieve for Me

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I following the path God laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all
Perhaps my time seems all to brief
Don’t lengthen now with undo grief
Lift up hearts and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.
