I hear this song being sung in harmonies by a choir, for memorials and funerals.
The song encourages the soul on its way.
It is for when in life, physical healing is no longer the goal, but death is. And everything changes.

“DEPART SOUL DEPART”
Lyrics & Music copyright 12/24/2016, Annie Lanzillotto
Depart Soul Depart
Depart Soul Depart
It’s time to rest for the heart
Depart Soul Depart
It’s time to rest for the heart
Depart Soul Depart
Fly away
Fly away
to the great God beyond
Fly away
Fly away
Let us leave the body down
Depart Depart Soul Depart
It’s time to rest for the heart
Let us lay the body down in the ground
Depart Soul Depart
It’s time to rest for the heart
Depart Soul
Depart
