Leaving and Arriving

I fought the good fight.  I have kept the faith.  I have finished the race.

I am now gone, raised to heaven up where I will see my savior’s face

While I lived I was a witness to His love and grace

I tried to follow His lead and let Him set my pace

His Holy Spirit was always there when I started to get off base

He helped prepare me in and out of season to make His case

When I left a place I could only hope that I left behind His Holy Trace

For I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my race

Now I see my savior face to face
