This Side Of The Grave
Verse 1
While struggling up the mountain
Wondering through the valley
This is where God’s children have to be
For lilies grow in deserts and there upon the hillside
High above this earthly realm His mercy reaches me
Verse 2
I know what lies before me
And I see what’s just ahead
The living saints will meet the risen dead
I’ll take no broken spirit or no sad or lonely days
I’m gonna lay them down and leave them all
On this side of the grave
Chorus
And on this side of the grave
Life is full of trouble everyday
It makes me anxious to get this journey underway
And I’ll leave it all on this side of the grave
