WHEN I GET WHERE I'M GOING
[ country; written by George Teren and Rivers Rutherford ]

When I get where I'm goin' 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 goin' there'll be only happy tears

I'll have 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 goin' don't cry for me down here

Gonna walk with my granddaddy, he'll match me step for step

And I'll tell him how I've missed him every minute since he left

Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah, when I get where I'm goin' there'll be only happy tears

I'll have 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 goin' 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, there's so much work to do

But when I get where I'm goin' 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 goin' there'll be only happy tears

I will love and have no fear, when I get where I'm goin'
