When I Get Where I'm Going

I just love this song which has been performed by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton.
Finding myself closer to God makes the song more meaningful. Tears well in my eyes nearly every time I hear it.


When I Get Where I'm Going
Songwriter(s): George G. Iii Teren, Melvern Rutherford Ii

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
