When I am gone, release me let me go.
For I have so many things to see and do.
For everyone has a purpose in life, and my purpose now is through.
For when I heard his voice I was scared to leave you behind,
but I knew I had to go because hills
were hard to climb.
I fought this battle for as long as could.
I tried my very best, but I know that is was time to put my soul to rest.
So grieve a while if grieve you must, then let you grief be comfort
by trust.
It's only for a little while that we must part, so cherish every memory in your heart.
For Jesus gave me that call, so I must turn and leave it all.
Do not tie yourself to me with tears but be happy we've had so many years.
And when you travel this way alone
I will smile and wave welcome home!
