It was a gathering of some three hundred people In the little church the crowd began to swell Quit a send off for a simple country farmer For many loved and knew the old man well And as his bride of sixty years came forward She bravely walked to where his body laid A hush fell over all that stood around her She smiled through tears as she began to say I will see you again for this isn't the end You're my forever friend and I will see you again Ever since a simple carpenter from NazarethWalked the mountains and the shores of GalileeEver since He died and rose again on EasterDeath doesn't have the same old victory Tonight I'll lay my head upon his pillow And cry until the breaking of the day For even in the pain of separation There's a hope inside my heart that lets me sing I will see you again for this isn't the end You're my forever friend and I will see you again Jesus, He made a way, there is coming a day So I will hold on till then and I will see you again I will hold on till then and I will see you again
