Final Goodbye

To all those whom I love
Being all those whom I know
Please do not be sad
I'm simply going home
I have no fear of Death
Jesus has broken that chain
And so I've been set free
By God's amazing grace
So waste not one moment
At a cold and barren grave
For nowhere on this earth
Is my final resting place
I've been well loved by many
And enjoyed this happy life
But I can hear St Peter calling
And I see Heaven's Gates open wide
I ask just this one final favor
Please don't cry, don't wail, don't grieve
For my God has called me home
And it's in victory I leave.
