about

This song is about when the time comes to meet your maker. One often hears friends and family say things like "they're in a better place now.". This is what that better place is all about!

lyrics

When I Go
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 1996

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

When I go to see my Lord, leave behind my soul's discord
I'll sing praise to God on high, while He my soul will beautify.

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

Yes, He will wash all cares away and He will sweep your prayers my way.
He'll bring me peace and happiness, and in His arms, I'll take my rest.

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

I'm ready Lord, Thy will be done, salvation through Jesus, Your only Son,
Life everlasting, Your blessing be on this Your servant, eternally.

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

When You come looking Lord, to take me home,
A place in Paradise, one of Your own,
You'll find me ready Lord and willing too,
To leave my nets behind, and walk with You.

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

All worries gone, all pain relieved,
A rich reward, for faith believed.
He'll guide me by His loving hand,
And lead me to the Promised Land.

When I go to meet my Lord, I will fly, like angels, soar.
I will shine like stars above, when I'm with the Lord I love.

When I’m with the Lord I love, the Lord I love.
