Lyrics
I've pictured in my mind
The way that it might be
So when my pain becomes too great
This is what you'll see
My flesh will lose the battle
But Christ has won the war
And the brightness of eternal love
Will pull me through the door
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come back
And I can take you home
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come right back
And I can take you home
On the pathway to my mansion
I'll meet Him face to face
With saucer eyes I'll stand before
The Savior of the race
He'll gently turn me 'round about
And with a knowing grin
"Death dies today" is what He'll say
"Just like I conquered sin."
"Put your arm around my shoulders
And I'll take you for a ride
For it's off to earth we're heading now
To get our lovely brides
Tell your wife that she's the last one
Who will ever have to cry
From losing a precious loved one
Who was so afraid to die."
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come back
And I can take you home
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come right back
And I can take you home
Surprise will wash away your night
And flood it into day
You'll laugh and cry and run for me
And this is what I'll say
As the flowers grow in April
When rain renews the land
I've bloomed for you, my darling wife
So come and take my hand
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come back
And I can take you home
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord and I can come right back
And I can take you home
Take you home
Take you home
Take you home
Take you home
