When I get where I’m going, on the far side of the sky
The first thing that I’m going to do is spread my wings and fly
I’m going to 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 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
When I get where I’m going, don’t cry for me down here
I’m going to 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
Then I’ll hug his neck.
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
When I get where I’m going, don’t cry for me down here
So much pain and so 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 going and I see my makers face
I’ll stand forever in the light of his amazing grace.
When I get where I’m going…..there’ll be only happy tears.
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, mainly because I’m not sure what or how it write the latest events that have taken place in my life. I’ll start out saying that this song has been a favorite of mine for many months and I even had it playing on my myspace page. I love the melody, lyrics, and the message it sends. In the past few weeks I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve listened to it over and over again with tears gushing down my checks. They aren’t happy tears like the song talks about, yet tears of sadness and loss over the death of my grandpa. I love my grandpa. I miss him. I miss the idea of him not being there at our next family gathering. The verses in red are the ones that tug at my heart the most. I want to walk with him in heaven and have him match me step for step.
Music speaks to my heart and comforts me when I am sad. I don't have many words this post but I wanted to give the song.

Oh man I love that song too. I haven't heard it since Grandpa died. And when I do- I have a feeling things are gonna get ugly...
Funny thing is after I droped Chelsea off in Byng the whole ride back that is the song I listened to for about and hour, and might have been sweating from the eyes. I understand the tears as well for almost a year now of marriage Chelsea has only seen me cry twice, when I got the call he had a heart attack and when mom made me read the 23 Psalms, so take heart even the strongest person you know cant stand up to the words of God and Brad Pasley
