WHEN I'M GONE

If the next day starts without me
Don't let tears well up in your eyes
For you should know l've reunited
with Christ
I might have never said goodbye
when we parted ways
But treasure the good in our days
and remember where l lay


As my casket is carried out the
hearse
Be grateful for my birth and
celebrate my death
Don't lament my departure,
I'm in the Heavens
This is a world branded by despair
and loneliness
So preach love and the Gospel to
every single heart

Flowers l received on my tomb,
and not when l was alive
Calamities bashed me but
L fought to survive
With the hope that everything
will be alright
I was caged in desolation and
the Lord saw me
So he called my name to
set me free
.
You'll watch me descend into my grave
But reality is l'm resurrected
into the kingdom
A place of no moonshine but wisdom
A place where l'd receive more
love than l gave
And rectitude outweighs the wickedness

I have left behind all my loved ones
You love me, l know, the feeling
is mutual
I'm here and God tells me it's
eternity
All that he promised is here
My life on earth is done,
my spirit has no fear

I will return stronger
Ready to tread the water
It was my time, l did not croak
prematurely
So when the next day starts without me
It's not goodbye 'cause l know
I'll see you soon
