Makeda's Legacy
Don’t cry for me ‘Cause I’ve 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.
Celebrate my life, celebrate the years,
Celebrate our family and wipe each other’s 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’m home, ‘Cause I’m free
Try not to cry for me just hold on to our memories.
Remember my smile and the things we used to do
how you were always there for me
and how much I love you.
I’m looking forward to that wonderful day When the Lord shall
Wipe all the tears away
Never again will we have to part
We will all have His peace and His joy in our hearts.
