Look For Me In Rainbows

“Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.

In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

 

Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,

Just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.

 

It won’t be forever; the day will come and then

My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

 

Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.

Every waking moment, and all your whole life through

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

 

Just wish me to be near you,

And I’ll be with you.”

“Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be,

A resting place along the road to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, paths along the way,

We all are meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place far greater than we know.

For some, the journey’s quicker, for some, the journey’s slow.

And when the journey finally ends, we’ll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.”

Don’t Grieve Me Now, For Now I am Free

“Don’t grieve me for now, for now I am 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 place at the close of the 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 savored much

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too brief

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift-up your heart, and share with me

God wanted me now, he set me free.”
