We say goodbye to those we love
With faith and hope in a sovereign Lord
For we know His will is good
And his love will be there for the life to come

Chorus
Goodbye for a little while
We'll meet again
Goodbye it is a hard farewell
To say my friend but we'll meet again
In a better land

The tears we cry are of grief and joy
For though we hurt they hurt no more
Because they lived for their eternal home
So we too, are living for the life to come

Bridge
Lord take this pain and use it for your glory
Lord bring your hope and put it in our hearts
