Lord when I come to see your face
I won’t sleep there in my grave
I’ll shed the ashes and dust away
And I know I will not die
Lift me up in a robin’s wing
High above the clouds in spring
Raise me high in a church bell’s ring
When I reach the other side
Plant me deep in a maple tree
Grow some flowers at my feet
Pour me out in an autumn breeze
Across a mountainside
Carry me in an ocean wave
Under skies all stormy grey
Shine me down in a sunset’s rays
When I reach the other side
Chorus:
Sing me in a Sunday morning choir
Roll me down a lover’s cheek
Lift me, lift me somewhere higher
And tell the ones I love not to cry for me
Hide me deep in a field of grain
Underneath the summer rain
Raise me up in a silent prayer
Or a newborn baby’s cry
Lay me down in a country road
In the freshly fallen snow
And the midnight mist and the full moon glow
When I reach the other side
Chorus
Lord when I come to see your face
I won’t sleep there in my grave
I’ll shed the ashes and dust away
When I reach the other side
