No More Goodbyes

Here in this world of sorrow
We often say goodbye –
It fills our hearts with sadness
And dims our tearful eye.

We part from friends and loved ones
With thankfulness and pain.
We say “Goodbye – God bless you
Until we meet again.”

But in that world of heaven
Where tears are wiped away,
God’s people are together
For life’s eternal day.

There time can’t shorten visits
And death can’t call away,
Pain will not interrupt us
And sin will not betray.

We’ll worship Christ together
And talk about His love –
No more goodbyes await us
In heaven’s home above.
