A beautiful song

I recently went to a funeral of a friend of mine. A sad day, his death came too soon. This morning as I cycled to work I thought of Steve and how he was now in a better place, seeing things we can only imagine. As I was thinking of him I remembered this song from Brad Paisley:

Artist: Brad Paisley

Song: When I Get Where I'm Going   

Album: Time Well Wasted 

 (Feat. Dolly Parton)

When I get where I'm going,

On the far side of the sky,

The first thing I'm gonna do

Is spread my wing and fly.

Im gonna land beside a lion,

And run my fingers through his mane.

Or I might find out what its like,

To ride a drop of rain

(Chorus)

Yeah when I get where I'm goin,

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 goin,

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 sence he left,

Then I'll hug his neck.

(Repeat chorus)

So much pain and so much darkness,

In this world we stumble through.

All these questions I can't answer,

And 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.
