Bury me cheerfully in God's green earth
from out of a pick up instead of a hearse.
Save the expense of roses and reefs
and spend the money for someone to eat.
Wrap me in a blanket instead of a box
so in my passing a tree will keep.
Bury me barefoot without any socks
and give my boots for another one’s feet.
Pastor, save your sermon
you might speak over me,
and in love, deliver it instead
to those on the street!
Shed a tear if your heart affords
if that will bring you peace,
but I'd rather you rejoice in the Lord
that my soul has been released!
Rev up your engines
let them be heard,
but ride safely in Him
to spread God's word!
Check on my family from time to time.
Please be generous and kind?
And may His mercies be with each of you,
until it’s your time!
