Dec 29.09 from Ann Berwanger Johnson:
When I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grandma
And she'll match me step for step
And I'll tell her how I missed her
Every minute since she left
Then I'll hug her neck
When I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
We will both stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace.
