*~Can I Go Now~*

Can I go home now
Is it ok for me leave
You know how much I love you
And I don't want you to grieve



I know that you'll be lonely
I know your heart will break
But please try to understand
I've took all that I can stand



The pain that wrecks my body
It's unbearable some days
You have cared so for me
And helped in so many ways



Can I go home now
I am so weak and worn
And if it's ok with you
I'd like to go before the morn



Please don't start to cry
You did your very best
But Jesus says that it's ok
To take my final rest



I really don't want to leave
Our family O so sweet
But I am so heavy laden
I want to rest at Jesus feet



Can I go home now
Please just hold my hand
I really need to go now
Just try to understand



My Savior beckons me
To a land of perfect rest
And it looks so inviting
And I have been so blest



I truly want to thank you
For all that you have done
And I'll be waiting for you
When your life's race is run



I really need to go now
Please say that it's ok
My angel here is waiting
And she will guide my way



I am so very sorry
To leave you so alone
But for this I have been waiting
I have to go on home



I'd really like to go now
If that's ok with you
I feel the pain is leaving
As I bid this world adieu



I can see the Heaven's open
What Beauty do I see
At the door is my Jesus
He's reaching out to me


My pain is all gone now
And I can breathe with ease
The air here is so perfect
I don't even hear a wheeze



I safely made it home now
O My Jesus is so sweet
I'll now thank Him forever
As I bow down at His feet



When you cross Old Jordan
On this shore you will stand
We will always be together
I will forever hold your hand
