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 Saviour's 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 Saviour came with me. 
When I awoke. He was by my side. 
And reach down His hand. 
Said, "Hurry, dear, you're going home 
To a grand and gloripus land. 
Don't worry 'bout the oi^ you love. 
For I'm not just w^^ou. 
And don't you know w|t|P^ou at home. 
They'll long to be there too?" 
If you could see w here I have gone. 
If you could see what Tye been shown. 
You'd never kno w another fear; \ 
Or ever feel alone^^^,!?#^'''^'^ 
You'd marvel at the ca^^erof God 
His hand on every life. 
And realize He really cares. 
And bear 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 at home again. 
If you could see where I have gone. 
You'd know we'll meet someday 
And though Tm just away. 
And now that I am home with Him, 
Secure in every way. 
I'm waiting here at Heaven's door 
To greet you some sweet day
