Matthew 5:4  Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Miss Me- But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set me free

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little- but not too long

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me- but let me go

For this is a journey we all must take 

And each must go alone.

It's all a part to the Master's plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss me- but let me go
