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

[Chorus:]

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 granddaddy

And he'll match me step for step

And I'll tell him how I've missed him

Every minute since he left

So much pain and so much darkness

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
