  • He said, I see my mama, she looks about 23
    She's running my way with the angels
    Right next to Jesus
    Yeah, his eyes lit up, staring at the living room ceiling
    And with his last few breaths, he said, I wish you could see it

    Don't you cry for me 'cause I'm in God's glory
    And I can see his face, it's amazing
    I know you have doubts but I see it right now
    I promise it's real, keep praying
    I'll be waiting, take your time
    And go write a story
    That you can't wait to tell me
    On the other side
    Oh, oh, on the other side, oh, oh

    I said, someday I'm gonna get married
    Better find a way to be up in the rafters
    When I have you a grandbaby
    I got somebody good to name 'em after
    There's gonna be a lot of sadness
    On a lot of happy days
    I'll try to think of this moment
    This place and hear you say

    Don't you cry for me 'cause I'm in God's glory
    And I can see his face, it's amazing
    I know you have doubts but I see it right now
    I promise it's real, keep praying
    I'll be waiting, take your time
    And go write a story
    That you can't wait to tell me
    On the other side
    On the other side

    All my pain, I get to leave it
    It's time for me to get my healing

    So, don't you cry for me 'cause I'm in God's glory
    And I can see his face, it's amazing
    I know you have doubts but I see it right now
    I promise it's real, keep praying
    I'll be waiting, take your time
    And go write a story
    That you can't wait to tell me
    On the other side
    Oh, oh, on the other side
