Far Side of the Sky
I heard this on the radio this morning as I drove to work. It has to be the best song I've heard in a while. It's just a sweet picture of heaven. Not sure why...but about halfway through I got all weepy, and it took me the rest of the drive to work to compose myself again. I know...I'm such a girl.
When I get where I'm goin'
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 'a rain
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 Grandaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left
And 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
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
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin'
Don't cry for me down here
George Teren/Rivers Rutherford

Sigh...that is really beautiful. A lot of times, I really do wish I could just leave everything and go to heaven, and I'm not that old. Is that wrong? I just want to leave the cares and loads of this world and be next to my savior and creator...
nope. I'm pretty sure heaven trumps biochem and genetics any day.
Yeah.. Same experience with that song. Must be the hormones.
