Oh my love, before I go,
Before my soul must ascend,
Oh let me tell you what I know,
Before my breaths must end.
When I see that light place,
Nestled in God's great embrace –
When those rolling hills of spring,
I shall then wander in –
I know I will be able to rest forever
On the heart of my loving Lord,
Knowing that I undertook every endeavor,
To share with you this great reward.
I know my soul shall find its rest,
When I have followed my Lord's behest,
To encourage you to seek him true –
To understand He came for, and He is calling you.
Before I go –
Before I go –
Let me tell you what I know.
Before I sleep –
Before I sleep –
Let me share my secret deep.
