I long for the day when my Lord comes to take me away!
Whether by death or if You come for me on a horse of white!
Anyway You take will be alright with me!
I long to just hear You say, "Now is the time! Child, won't you come away?"
Then I'll take Your hand surrendering completely to You that day!
O, I can't contain the joy that day will bring!
[Chorus 1]O, Lord while I wait I will cling to each word that You say!
When I get to see You face to face!
When I can finally put sight to the Voice I've embraced!
It will be worth all the waiting for that one moment of celebrating You!
When I get to feel Your hand in mine!
When I can finally be free from this prison called time!
And You say, "Child, I've waiting for this one moment of celebrating, too!
For this one moment of celebrating you!"
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Forever with You! No crying there!
Forever with You! No burdens! No more worldly cares!
My heart is anticipating eternally with You celebrating You!
Forever with You I long to be!
Forever worshipping, knowing You intimately!
When You say, "Child, no more waiting!"
I'll spend forever just celebrating You!
[Chorus 3]
I'll see my loved ones gone before!
I'll get to be with them, laugh with them, hold them once more!
There'll be no more separating!
Together we will be celebrating You!
Together we'll worship You and sing!
Forever praising Lord Jesus our Savior and King!
When You say, "Child, no more waiting!
Enter your rest and start celebrating too!"
Forever, Lord, I'll be celebrating You!
