When I Get Where I'm Going

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

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 grand-daddy,

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.

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.

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,

Oh, 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.
