He Set Me Free

My life was full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Don’t grieve for me, now that I’m free.
I’m following God’s path you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
But please, don’t lengthen it with undue grief.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys;
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Lift up your heart, Peace be to thee,
God wanted me, He Set Me Free.

Promised

God hath not promised
skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
all our lives through;
God hath not promised
sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
peace without pain.

But God hath promised
strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
undying love.
