Verse 1
Woke up in a wide-open field of green
Morning light falling soft on me
Felt peace like I’d never known before
That’s when I knew—I was home with the Lord
Pre-Chorus
No shadows hanging on my name
Every fear just slipped away
Chorus
I was standing in heaven, arms open wide
Tears falling fast but my heart felt alive
They came walking toward me from every side
Looking brand new, restored by the light
If this was a glimpse of the promised land
All I can say is, “Thank You, God, amen”
Verse 2
Grandpa strong, Grandma smiling bright
Same love, just bathed in eternal light
Every wrinkle gone, every burden gone too
Only joy where the sorrow used to be
Pre-Chorus
Every hug felt like answered prayer
Grace was everywhere
Chorus
I was standing in heaven, arms open wide
Tears falling fast but my heart felt alive
They came walking toward me from every side
Looking brand new, restored by the light
If this was a glimpse of the promised land
All I can say is, “Thank You, God, amen”
Bridge (down, reflective)
Then I saw her on a wooden bench
Dark brown hair, heaven on her breath
A sister I never got to hold
But my soul knew her, deeper than words
Bridge (build)
Life never gave us the time or days
But You, Lord, made a better way
You filled the space, You healed the pain
Only You could love like that
Final Chorus (big, singable)
I was standing in heaven, saved by grace
Every tear redeemed, every ache erased
From the first hello to the last amen
You were faithful then and faithful again
If this dream was You pulling back the veil
I’ll trust Your promise, I’ll tell this tale
Outro (simple, congregational)
I’ll see them again, I believe it’s true
Heaven’s not far, Lord, it’s found in You
So I’ll walk this road with my eyes above
Thank You, Jesus… thank You for love
