When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.
I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
(Chorus:)
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.
I'm gonna walk with my granddaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.
(Chorus)
So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.
But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.
You know Rick really loved this song. We played it at the funeral home along with his (Rick's) video. This part I can see:
"But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace."
I can see Rick when he saw his Maker's face standing there slapping that leg, twisting that foot and making that half laugh, half clearing his throat sound he always made when he was feeling the spirit of the Lord. I love you Honey, I miss you so much. I wouldn't want you back here to suffer though. There was not anything anyone could do to fix you. We had to let you go home. We will all be together again some day. I love you. I wish I could tell you happy anniversary tomorrow. I wish we could go on with our plans. Tomorrow is the cookout at Jerry and Sandy's, I will take your sippy cup for old times sake! And there will be fireworks just like 25 years ago!
