my dearest friend, if i sing you this song |
| [00:28.62] |
will you hear it from up in heaven? |
| [00:34.67] |
i'm still down here in this ugly place |
| [00:40.00] |
but up there's where i'm heading |
| [00:45.53] |
when they tell you i'm coming please wait for me |
| [00:51.27] |
in front of the house that i'll live in |
| [00:57.07] |
and when Jesus walks me up to the door |
| [01:02.07] |
i can finally see you again |
| [01:08.00] |
|
| [01:08.42] |
it's true that my heart was broken in two |
| [01:13.62] |
on the day i said goodbye to you |
| [01:19.63] |
and i carry an ache inside of my chest |
| [01:24.88] |
until Jesus makes everything new |
| [01:31.18] |
|
| [01:33.78] |
those that we loved that left before us must have been thrilled beyond words |
| [01:44.51] |
when you ran through the gates and into the kingdom |
| [01:49.68] |
and up to the feet of my Lord |
| [01:56.24] |
once sick and frail, once weak and pale |
| [02:01.85] |
now made perfect and new |
| [02:06.53] |
no more aching and crying, no more breaking and dying |
| [02:13.01] |
finally home in the arms of who loves you |
| [02:18.17] |
|
| [02:18.39] |
when you run and you play in the light of the Son |
| [02:24.35] |
hold me in your heart and mind |
| [02:30.15] |
i don't know how and i don't know when |
| [02:35.43] |
but i'm leaving this cold place behind |
| [02:41.32] |
how my heart aches to think of the day |
| [02:46.38] |
when my faith shall finally be sight |
| [02:52.11] |
when the crowds will part and cheer as i come |
| [02:58.18] |
as i walk through toward the light |
| [03:04.71] |
|
| [03:06.60] |
and my father, my love, my Jesus, my king |
| [03:12.05] |
in his glory, seated on his throne |
| [03:17.59] |
he'll take me in his arms as the crowds cheer and sing |
| [03:22.85] |
and say "well done child, welcome home" |
| [03:28.58] |
and he'll walk me to the house that he built |
| [03:34.13] |
with the father's love and the carpenters touch |
| [03:40.12] |
and you'll run to me and i'll hold you again |
| [03:45.44] |
my friend, i've missed you so much |
| [03:56.54] |
|
