I'm Free

Don't grieve for me now, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid, you see.
I took His hand when I heard His 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 peace at the close 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, there are 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've savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to Thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

You'll be There

Well, hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
Time is the ocean, and life is a trip
You don't know where your going til you know where your at
And if you cant read the stars well you better have a map , a compass and a conscience So you don't get lost at sea
Or on some old lonely island where no one wants to be
From the beginning of creation I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves And the wind to the beaches in a world where we have never been
And we'll climb up on a mountain yall we'll let our voices ring
And those who've never tried it they'll be the first to sing
Oh my my

I'll see you on the other side if I make it
And might be a long hard ride but I'm gonna take it
Sometimes its seems that I don't have a prayer
I'll let the whether take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
Cause youll be there
Oh my my

Well you don't bring nothing with you here
and you cant take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
so I've torn my knees up praying scarred my back from falling down
I've spent some much time flyin high til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me would you talk to God and say
tell him I might need a hand to see you both some day oh my my
So I'll see you on the other side if I make it
and it might be a long hard ride but I wanna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I'll let the whether take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
Cause you'll be there oh my my
Cause you'll be there oh my my
