I love the joyful message in this song. Many groups sing it, but Selah’s version is my personal favorite.
When I die don't cry for me,
In my father's arms I'll be.
The wounds this world left on my soul,
Will all be healed and I'll be whole.
Sun and moon will be replaced,
With the light of Jesus' face.
And I will not be ashamed,
For my Saviour knows my name.
It don't matter where you bury me,
I'll be home and I'll be free.
It don't matter where I lay,
All my tears be washed away.
Gold and silver blind the eye,
Temporary riches lie.
Come and eat from Heavens store,
Come and drink, and thirst no more.
So weep not for me my friend,
When my time below does end.
For my life belongs to Him,
Who will raise the dead again.

Oh, that was wonderful, Karen. I love Selah, and don't really remember their singing that song. Thank you for your sweet comment.
Beautiful....AMEN!
The words to this song are very comforting to me as I remember all the pain my mother had before she died. Now I know that she is in heaven and has no more pain.
BTW, I love Selah too. I used one of their songs for my TSMSS post.
I like it too! nice back-up - especially on "it don't matter". And thanks for sharing the lyrics as well.
