Celebrate My Life

Several weeks ago a man in our church passed away. His wife asked for this song to be sung at his funeral. When I heard the words, I knew I had to share them with all of you. I always want to celebrate the lives of those who have gone on before us!


Don't cry for me 'cause I have gone to a better place
Try not to cry for me 'cause I see the Savior's face
Remember my smile and the things we used to do
How you were always there for me and how much I love you

So, celebrate my life
Celebrate the years
Celebrate our family and wipe each others tears
Celebrate the laughter
Celebrate the fun
One day God will wipe away your tears and sorrow will be gone

Don't cry for me 'cause I am home, 'cause I am free
Try not to cry for me just hold on; hold on to all our memories
Remember my smile and the things that we'd do
How you were always there for me and I love you

I'm looking forward to that wonderful day
When the Lord shall wipe all our tears away
Never again will we have to part
We will all have His peace and His joy in our hearts

Know that you will see me again so just hold fast to what is true
Remember to love the Lord with all your heart
And He will see you through
I have fought a good fight; now I've finished my race
One day we will greet each other with a warm embrace

So, celebrate my life
Celebrate the years
Celebrate our family and wipe each others tears
Celebrate the laughter
Celebrate the fun
Celebrate the promise that all sorrow will be gone
