As Long As I'm Here

Some day I'll pass through the great sky above

And the first thing I'll ask is how well did I love

Did I leave the world any better than it was before?

Of all the things I've done, could I have done any more?

'Cause it took me a while just to find my feet

And to learn how to stand on my own

But You gave me the heart and the time I would need

To find You and make it back home where I belong

Some day I'll go to the great, wide beyond

Where Moses and Mary and Jacob and my loved ones have gone

But I will rejoice in today and the journey I'm on

And I'll keep on praying and pressing on until dawn

'Cause it took me a while just to find my feet

And to learn how to stand on my own

But You gave me the heart and the time I would need

To find You and make it back home where I belong

Only to see a glimpse of Your face

To peek in to Heaven, time and space

Oh, to feel my own frailty and tremble in fear

To know You are with me as long as I'm here

Oh, as long as I'm here

Some day I'll pass through the great sky above

And the first thing I'll ask is how well did I love
