Ive Only Moved Away
When my life is over and my body is cold and still,
Dont grieve because / left you;
Just remember it was Gods will.
All my suffering will be over.
Every trial and every test;
When God called and I have answered.
Dont weep for Ill be at rest.
Only ask yourself this question,
Am I ready to meet Him there?
When there ll be separation in Heaven,
So bright and so fair;
When you pass to view my body.
Remember itd just a house of clay;
Jesus has built for me a mansion.
And Ive only moved away.
