Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I go, don't cry for me
In my father's arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed, and I'll be whole
[Verse 2]
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my Savior knows my name
[Verse 3]
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears'll be washed away
[Verse 4]
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from Heaven's store
Come and drink, and thirst no more
[Verse 5]
So weep not for me, my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again
[Verse 6]
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears'll be washed away
