"Going Out This Way "

"Going Out This Way"

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1)

I feel the end is near

And I'm ready to go

We can still make memories

Until the Lord calls me home

My flesh life is ending

Like an ember in a flame

We had a great ride together

It's kinda sad I'm going out this way

(Verse 2)

But don't you cry too long

Just remember the good

All the laughs and the late nights

We did the best we could

You were my light through the shadows

My shelter in the rain

And though my time is fading

My love will still remain

(Chorus)

So hold my hand until the sunrise

Don’t let the silence steal your peace

I'll be dancing with the angels

Where my soul will find release

We can’t outrun the seasons

But we can cherish every day

I’m just saying goodbye for now

Though it’s hard going out this way

(Verse 3)

Tell the kids I always loved them

And to keep walking in the truth

Life is short but full of wonder

Like the dreams we had in youth

I may not see tomorrow

But I’ve lived without regret

So remember me with laughter

And forgive what you forget

(Bridge)

No more pain where I’m going

No more tears, no more night

I’ll be watching from the heavens

In the arms of Jesus Christ

(Chorus) (repeat)

So hold my hand until the sunrise

Don’t let the silence steal your peace

I'll be dancing with the angels

Where my soul will find release

We can’t outrun the seasons

But we can cherish every day

I’m just saying goodbye for now

Though it’s hard going out this way

(Outro)

Yes, we had a great ride together

And in your heart, I’ll always stay

I’ll meet you at the gates of glory

Though it's hard going out this way
