Album: Songs of Heaven and Hope
If I leave this world of sorrow
Sometime before you do.
Just look for me in Heaven
And we'll talk the ages through.
But if at first, you fail to see me
Let me tell you where I'll be.
I'll be thanking Christ, my Savior
For saving a wretch like me.
But if you should reach that city
Before my time has come.
Perhaps, you'd like to greet me
When my race down here is run.
Just wait for I'll soon be coming
Across life's ebbing sea.
And I'll tell you now, dear loved one
Just where to wait for me.
Don't look beneath the gates of pearl.
Don't look on the streets of gold.
Don't look by the walls of jasper.
Nor among the many sights untold,
For I've been longing and I've been waiting,
For the Precious, Holy One to see.
There I'll be through the countless ages,
Look for me at Jesus' feet.
There I'll be through the countless ages,
Look for me at Jesus' feet.
