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
