When I Get Where I am Going
I think that I have mentioned before that I sing with a group from Madison for funerals. We sang for one today. We sang old favorites like, "Amazing Grace" and "I'll Fly Away". But today the service opened with a recording of the Brad Paisley song, "When I Get Where I Am Going". The lyrics touched me so that I thought I would share them with you for my post today.
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 grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck
So much pain and so much darkness
In 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
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears

inwordguy, Thanks so much for sharing. Dad's influence in the lives of others was very much one on one. He loved people and I think that is what made him a great Elder.
No doubt it was Steve Saint, son of Nait Saint and Mincaye that you saw at Starwood. They have traveled extensively through out the country promoting the movie in preparation for it's release back in January of this year. "Shadow Of The Almightty" changed my life and gave me a mission focus I had not had. It was also the inspiration for the Title of this blog.
You comments are so appreciated. Thanks Again!
