If you could see where I have gone,
the beauty of this place
and how it feels to know you're home.
To see the Saviors face,
to wake in peace and know no fear,
just joy beyond compare.
While still you miss me yet
you wouldn't want me there,
If you could see where I have gone.
If you could see where I have gone,
if you had made the trip with me.
You'd known I didn't go alone,
My Savior came with me.
When I awoke, he was by my side
and reached down with his hand,
said "Hurry, your going home
to a grand and glorious land."
"Don't worry over those you love
for I am not just with you.
Don't you know with you at home
they'll long to be here too."
If you could see where I have gone,
and see what I've been shown.
You'd never know another fear
or ever feel alone.
You'd marvel at the care of God,
his hand on every life
and realizes he cares.
He bears with us with each stride
and he weeps when one is lost.
His heart is filled with pain,
but Oh the joy when one comes home.
A child at home again.
If you could see where I have gone,
you could stay awhile with me,
could share the things that God has made
to grace eternity.
But, No, You couldn't ever leave,
Once Heaven's joy you'd know.
You couldn't bear to walk Earth's paths
once Heaven was your home.
If you could see where I have gone,
you'll know we'll meet some day
and though I am parted from you now.
That I am just away.
So Thank-You for living for the Lord,
for encouraging me to love him too,
to trust him and his word.
Now that I am home with him,
secure in every way,
I'm waiting here at Heaven's door
to greet you some sweet day.
