“Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free. I’m following the path God Laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call; be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free”.
