It’s more like, “see you latter.”Though my room is prepared, and all is ready for meStill, the harder I try, the more I have to wrestle.With my need to remain, and my desire for home. So, this isn’t goodbye.For every tear that I have cried, countless thousand more have fallen.Knowing yours are wiped away is a comfort to meSo, this isn’t goodbye. It’s more like, “see you latter.”My memory is good. So this isn’t good bye. This isn’t goodbye.Our God is love. He holds us both within his handsHis gentle hands help us to follow in his plansThey’re plans for our good, for a hope-filled futureA future together in his love. That’s why this isn’t goodbyeMake my prayer with a sigh, the Spirit intercedingAnd I long to connect through that ephemeral powerStill I can’t help ask why, even though I need no answerHow well I know a father’s concern; no this isn’t goodbyeNo, I never will die, for this life to life transitionHis promise is sure, and my hope is securedSo, this isn’t goodbye. It’s more like, “see you latter.”My memory is good. So this isn’t good bye. No this isn’t goodbye.“This Isn’t Goodbye,”  words and music by John Bromhal©2002 Bromhaljohn Music.  All Rights Reserved
