Economy Verse

• V01

  I’m Free
  Don’t grieve for me now I’m free,
  I'm following the path 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 the sunshine of tomorrow,
  My life's been full, I've savoured 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 share with me,
  God wanted me now, He set me free.

• V02

  I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
  Oh, so happy and so bright!
  There is perfect joy and beauty
  In this everlasting light.
  All the pain and grief is over,
  every restless tossing passed;
  I am now at peace forever,
  safely home in Heaven at last.
  Did you wonder I so calmly
  trod the valley of the shade?
  Oh! but Jesus’ love illumined
  Every dark and fearful glade.
  And He came Himself to meet me
  In that way so hard to tread;
  and with Jesus’ arm to lean on,
  Could I have one doubt or dread?
  Then you must not grieve so sorely,
  For I love you dearly still:
  Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
  Pray to trust our Father’s will.
  
  
  
  
  

• V03

  God’s Garden
  God looked around his garden
  And found an empty place
  He then looked down
  Upon the earth,
  And saw your tired face.
  He put His arms around you
  And lifted you to rest.
  God's garden must be beautiful
  He always takes the best.
  He knew that you were suffering
  He knew you were in pain
  He knew that you would never
  Get well on earth again.
  He saw the road was getting rough,
  And the hills were hard to climb.
  So He closed your weary eyelids,
  And whispered “Peace be Thine”.
  It broke our hearts to lose you
  But you didn't go alone,
  For part of us went with you
  The day God called you home.

• V04

  A Light is from our household gone,
  A voice we loved is stilled,
  A place is vacant in our home,
  That never can be filled.
  Lonely is the home without you,
  Life to us is not the same,
  All the world would be like heaven,
  If we could have you back again.
  The happy hours we once enjoyed,
  How sweet their memory still,
  But death has left a vacant place,
  This world can never fill.
  How dearly we loved you,
  And prayed you might live,
  But Jesus just beckoned,
  And we had to give.
  God gave us strength to bear it,
  And courage to fight the blow,
  What it has meant to lose you,
  God alone will ever know.
  May the God of love and mercy,
  Care our loved one who is gone,
  And bless with consolation,
  Those left to carry on.
