"When I Get to Heaven," dedicated to Mattie J.T. Stepanek, author of LOVING THROUGH HEARTSONGS

CHORUS:
When I get to heaven
I’ll grow wings and fly
I’ll be alive for the very first time
When I get to heaven
I’ll stand up and sing
I’ll be everything I never was
Everything I long to be
When I get to heaven

VERSE:
I’ll hit the home run that I missed as a kid
Then I’ll dance with the girl of my dreams
I’ll be the first one to say: “I love you.”
And live off of Cookies ‘N’ Cream

PRE-CHORUS:
If I live another day on planet earth
I’ll be glad for the time I have left
As I plan my days away
I know my time is almost spent

CHORUS:
When I get to heaven
I’ll grow wings and fly
I’ll be alive for the very first time
When I get to heaven
I’ll stand up and sing
I’ll be everything I never was
Everything I long to be
When I get to heaven

VERSE:
I’ll run through the fields with the wind at my back
And I’ll climb the old Sycamore tree
I’ll be a good dad with five great kids
And each one of them looks just like me

PRE-CHORUS:
I’ll be waiting for you to finally come home
And we’ll catch up right where we left off
Then I’ll show you all around
And I’ll stand with you in awe

CHORUS:
When I get to heaven
I’ll grow wings and fly
I’ll be alive for the very first time
When I get to heaven
I’ll stand up and sing
I’ll be everything I never was
Everything I long to be
When I get to heaven

BRIDGE:
I always knew eternity existed
It’s all that I’ve been missing

CHORUS:
When I get to heaven
I’ll grow wings and fly
I’ll be alive for the very first time
When I get to heaven
I’ll stand up and sing
I’ll be everything I never was
And everything I long to be
When I get to heaven

Mattie J.T. Stepanek went to heaven on June 22, 2004, and told me he was going to fly, not walk, when he got there.
