Lord, I don’t want to die.
But as I say it
I see
the celestial city
and am caught up
in the beauty of it all,
the joy of it.
So what is this
‘Lord, I don’t want to die’?
Always, always
there’s a pain,
you can know it’s right
and long to go,
but always, always there’s a pain,
as you take that last look round
as you walk away knowing
you’ll never look back.
Always, always there’s a pain;
The parting may be tomorrow
the parting may not be for years,
but today
I tasted
the pain
of
parting.
