When I Get Where I'm Going Lyrics
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 granddaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left
So much pain and so much darkness
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
By Rivers Rutherford and George G. Teren III / featuring guest vocalist Christy Nockels
Song Description:
"I had the privilege to work with songwriter Rivers Rutherford on one of my albums and really admire his writing. When I was growing up, I would hear people in my church sometimes refer to someone as being "too heavenly minded for any earthly good." I think in today's culture it may be just the opposite. Too earthly minded for any heavenly good. I believe that living in the light of eternity will impact the way we live today. This song reminds me to do that. And to have one my favorite singers, Watermark's Christy Nockels join me on the song, just made it perfect." - Geoff Moore
