WHEN I DEPART THIS EARTH

WHEN I DEPART THIS EARTH

When I depart this earth, where I’ve been blessed since birth
It won’t be a day for heartache and pain.
So when it’s time to leave
this world so bitter and sweet
a joy I’ve never conceived
will be waiting for me.

You said eyes haven’t seen
No heart could even dream
of everything you’ve prepared that’s waiting for me
I’ll see the brightest light
your love that pierced the night
the moment I prayed and gave you my life
I’ll finally put a face
with your mercy and grace
that would always erase my sorrow and strife
So when it’s time to leave
this world so bitter and sweet
a joy I’ve never conceived will be waiting for me.
