One day I’ll take a long journey
Like none that I’ve taken before
My ticket’s been purchased, it’s one way
I won’t live here anymore
My departure will be instantaneous
One moment I’m here, the next gone
I will heed the rallying trumpet
Whether at noontime, dusk, or dawn
I won’t be the only one leaving
I’ll join a procession Heaven bound
My Earthly garments discarded
I”ll be wearing a Heavenly crown
In the distance is my destination
Glowing with the glory of God
At the gate awaits the Master
To greet us with a smile and nod
In a line, all of the saints will wait
To be embraced and welcomed in
In awe, I will await my turn
To meet the one who bore my sin
He’ll take me into His arms
And say, “Well done, my son”
“You’ve kept the faith, loved me”
“Enjoy the eternity you have won”
