Please don’t sing
sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place,
Away from pain and tears…
I’m far away from hunger,
And hurt and want and pride.
I have a place in heaven,
With my Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly lives can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know…
My heart is filled with happiness,
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
