When I Get Where I'm Going

Have you ever heard a song that just touches you? I bought this song on Brad Paisley's album when it first came out (probably over a year ago) and I've never really heard it. But a few days after my Dad passed away this song came on my iPod when I was driving and it gave me peace, made me cry my eyes out and made my heart just ache. It's such a Beautiful song. You don't hear too many songs like this one too often these days. The words are Beautiful!

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

[Repeat chorus]

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light 
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

I know music isn't everyones thing, but I love listening to the words of songs.  This song just made me so glad that my parents instilled in me Christian values and ever though mistakes are made and wrong decisions are made there is forgiveness and there is a God and there is a heaven and that "should" give us all HOPE in this unGodly world we live in.  I truly can not imagine how someone who doesn't believe feels when someone they love dies.  Because the only hope I can grasp when those hard days come is that someday I will see them again...
