Don't Pity Me



I do not want your pity
These words echoed to me today
As I see so many people
Looking at me in sympathizing way



I know my time is running out
On this old earthly land
I know my pain reaches heights
That I can barely stand



You may think this makes me sad
And in one way I do find
The only sadness that I feel
Are the ones I'll leave behind



I don't want your pity
Because I'm not really going to die
I am just changing places
To a Mansion by and by



Where all things will be perfect
Jesus Christ will be the light
All is day for Eternity
There will never be a night



No more pain in this old body
All things will be made anew
With breath to sing all I want
That I can now no longer do



I don't want your pity
How could all that be sad
Sweet relief from pain and worry
That so long now I've had



Please look on me with a big smile
And just say she'll soon be leavin'
But we'll meet again someday
In a place that's been called Heaven



Can't you see the faraway look I have
With my mind on younder's Home
Imagining I can hear Him say
Come in Child Welcome Home



Take a deep breath fill your lungs
That you've never done since birth
Just sing to your heart's content
Like you wanted to on earth



No need to bring your oxygen in
Now you have a perfect home
No need to bring your medicine box
My child at last your body's whole
