The Other Side

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
 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
