If You Knew Where I Was Standing

 If you knew where I am standing
If you could see the sights I see
If you could hear the angels singing 
the songs they sing eterenally
If you knew the "One" I'm holding
Could see the smile He smiles at me
If you knew where I am resting 
You would not cry for me

I'm resting in the precious arms of Jesus
No other place would I rather be
So if you shed a tear
Please don't shed it for me 
If you knew where I am easting
You would not cry for me

"I know you're confused
about my leaving you so soon,
but I'll be with you again
maybe morning, night or noon
So I'll save a place for you
Right beside the crystal sea
If you kew where my mansion's standing
You would not cry for me"
