As I stand on the rocky shore of the bay
I look over to the distant bank
Not to look back in want
But to look back in remembrance 
Of what I had left behind 
To remind myself 
of how far God has brought me.
I turn to look toward the future
With great expectations
I move with new hope and vigor
To what is to come.
I stand with a smile 
Across my face
And a new song in my heart
Because my God is leading me to my home
In a land beyond anything I could have ever 
Imagined 
And my journey is almost over.
I smile because I can now see
The bright light of my home waiting for me
And hear the music of celebrations 
Welcoming not just me but all those that have traveled 
These long hard roads and overcame the struggles 
To arms opened wide and kisses of loved ones that have 
Gone on before us.
