In A Better Place
Author: Ralph Clark
CH.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I'm not there I do not sleep
Jesus called me home with him some old day we'll meet again
When I looked upon his face, he smiled at me with his Heavenly Grace,
Now i sing with the angel band, and I'm walking with him hand in hand.
1ST
Yes, I saw the other side and I'm standing on the shore
Looking down from up on high with our Lord forever more
I see friends from all around and I see folks that were lost then found,
I'm with Jesus every day and yes I'm here to stay.
CH.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I'm not there I do not sleep
Jesus called me home with him some old day we'll meet again
When I looked upon his face smiled at me with his Heavenly Grace,
Now I sing with the angel band and I'm walking with him hand in hand.
2ND
I'm in a better place right now than I've ever been before
All the pain I had was gone, no more troubles anymore
Please don't mourn for me no more for I'm living with the Lord
He has led me by the hand on up to that Promise Land
Ch.
3RD
Jesus is the do on the ripened grain and the gentle Autumn rain
He's the Sun that warms your day, he’s the star that leads the way
He's the breeze through the forest trees and the rustling of the fallen leaves
And the snow on the frozen ground the Lord's and everything around.
Ch. (modified) pg2
Do not stand at my grave and cry I'm not there I did not die Living with the Lord upon High, we're going to meet him in the by-and-by Do not stand by my grave and weep, pray the Lord my soul to keep Jesus called me home with him, some old day we'll meet again.
