If You
Could See Where I Have Gone
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
on earth, 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,
had made
the trip with me,
You’d know
I didn’t go alone.
The Savior
came with me.
When I
awoke, He was by my side,
and reached
out his hand,
Said, "Hurry
Child you’re coming home
to a grand
and glorious land,
Don’t worry
over those you love,
for I’m
not just with you,
And 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 tear,
or ever
feel alone.
You’d marvel
at the care of God,
His hand
on every life,
And realize
he really cares,
and bears
with us each strife,
And that
he weeps when one is lost.
His heart
is filled with pain,
But oh!
the joy when one comes home,
a child
is home again.
If you
could see where I have gone,
could stay
awhile with me,
Could share
the things that God has made,
to grace
eternity.
But no,
you could never leave,
once Heavens’
joy you’d known,
You couldn’t
beat to walk earth’s paths,
once Heaven
was your home.
If you
could see where I have gone,
you’d know
we’ll meet someday,
And though
I’m parted from you now,
that I
am just away.
So, thank
you family, thank you friends,
for living
for the Lord,
For teaching
me to love Him,
to trust
Him and His word,
And now,
that I’m at home with Him.
secure
in every way,
I’m waiting
here at Heaven’s door,
to greet
you some sweet day.
