Weep Not For Me Weep not for me though I am gone Into that gentle night Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul ’ s sweet flight I am at peace, my soul ’ s at rest There is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now all is gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life

YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE You never said I'm leaving, You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

God ’ s Garden God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God ’ s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘ Peace be thine ’. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn ’ t go alone,
