Until We Meet Again

My dearest friend, if I sing you this song

Will you hear it from up in heaven?

I'm still down here in this ugly place

But up there's where I'm heading

When they tell you I'm coming please wait for me

In front of the house that I'll live in

And when Jesus walks me up to the door

I can finally see you again

It's true that my heart was broken in two

On the day I said goodbye to you

And I carry an ache in my chest

Until Jesus makes everything new

Those that we loved that left before us

Must have been thrilled beyond words

When you ran through the gates and into the kingdom

And up to the feet of my lord

Once sick and frail, once weak and pale

Now made perfect and new

No more aching and crying or breaking and dying

Finally home in the arms of who loves you

When you run and you play in the light of the son

Hold me in your heart and mind

Don't know how, I don't know when

But I'm leaving this cold place behind

How my heart aches to think of the day

When my faith shall finally be sight

When the crowds will part and cheer as I come

As I walk through toward the light

And my father, my love, Jesus my king

In his glory seated on his throne

Take me in his arms as the crowds cheer and sing

And say, well done child, welcome home

And he'll walk me to the house that he built

With the father's love and the carpenters touch

You'll run to me and I'll hold you again

For my friend, I've missed you so much
