Showbread - Until We Meet Again |
|
my dearest friend, if i sing you this song |
|
will you hear it from up in heaven? |
|
i'm still down here in this ugly place |
|
but up there's where i'm heading |
|
when they tell you i'm coming please wait for me |
|
in front of the house that i'll live in |
|
and when Jesus walks me up to the door |
|
i can finally see you again |
|
it's true that my heart was broken in two |
|
on the day i said goodbye to you |
|
and i carry an ache inside of my chest |
|
until Jesus makes everything new |
|
those that we loved that left before us must have been thrilled beyond words |
|
when you ran through the gates and into the kingdom |
|
and up to the feet of my Lord |
|
once sick and frail, once weak and pale |
|
now made perfect and new |
|
no more aching and crying, no more breaking and dying |
|
finally home in the arms of who loves you |
|
when you run and you play in the light of the Son |
|
hold me in your heart and mind |
|
i don't know how and i don't know when |
|
but i'm leaving this cold place behind |
|
how my heart aches to think of the day |
|
when my faith shall finally be sight |
|
when the crowds will part and cheer as i come |
|
as i walk through toward the light |
|
and my father, my love, my Jesus, my king |
|
in his glory, seated on his throne |
|
he'll take me in his arms as the crowds cheer and sing |
|
and say "well done child, welcome home" |
|
and he'll walk me to the house that he built |
|
with the father's love and the carpenters touch |
|
and you'll run to me and i'll hold you again |
|
my friend, i've missed you so much |
