Gone Away Lyrics

On my way, on my way,
On my way home, on my way
On my way (repeat)

Heaven's where we want to go (You better get ready)
But for now ('Cause you know not when the Lord will come)
We will wait here on the earth (Just keep your faith steady)
For that sound (The cross bears all, the battle has been won)

The dead in Christ will rise
Every knee will bow
The King will take His bride
When the trumpet sounds

Chorus:
Our Savior (Our Savior) has gone away
Promised He's coming for us any day
We're waiting (we're waiting here) for His shout
Final revealing what it's all about

On my way, on my way, on my way home,
On my way, on my way

It will be so nice on the (Oh won't it be exciting)
Crystal shore (There'll be no rich and there'll be no poor)
Nobody will be left out (He's always inviting)
Any more (We'll all be the same on the crystal shore)

Descending on a cloud
Come to claim His own (claiming His own)
The Savior of the world
Will take His children home

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Bridge (x3):
He's the way to get there
See you when I get there
He's the way, He's the way
3x: On my way, on my way
(3rd time - He is the way)

He's the way to get there (He is the way)
See you when I get there
He is the way and the truth and the life

Standing in the presence of (Oh tell me the story)
Christ the Lamb (of Christ the Lamb, the living Holy One)
We can hear the story from (We'll live in his glory)
Him first hand (His light shines brighter than a million suns)

We'll gather round the throne
Lift our praises high (Lifting our praises on high)
We'll walk the street of gold
In the place where no one cries (Where no one cries)

Chorus 2:
Our Savior (our Savior) has gone away
Promised He's coming for us any day
We're waiting (we're waiting here) for His shout
Final revealing what it's all about

Repeat Chorus 2
(2nd time - Savior's gone away, waiting for His shout)

Bridge to ending (x4): He's the way to get there
See you when I get there
He's the way, He's the way (3x on my way, on my way)
(2nd, 3rd 4th time - He is the way)
