[Verse 1] Take me to The Place in the mountains, Where the heavens kiss the trees. Where the sacred morning hush calls my soul— Which gives my weary heart peace. I see the hands that once held me tight, And feel angels walkin’ beside me still. [Chorus] Take me, O Lord, I’m ready to go, To The Place my spirit knows. Where angels and kin gather ’round. Where love is eternally-bound— Take me to The Place where my heart longs to be— Where partings cease to be. [Verse 2] Take me to The Place by the river, Where the water of mem'ries run deep. I hear the songs of those I love still sung— Though their echoes slumber now. I feel the light of the love shared 'round, Reflected in the stream of eternity. [Chorus] Take me, O Lord, I’m ready to go, To The Place my spirit knows. Where angels and kin gather ’round. Where love is eternally-bound— Take me to The Place where my heart longs to be— Where partings cease to be. [Verse 3] Take me to The Place of old and broken, For what remains is rust and decay. But, O Lord, remind me of your promised word— A brighter, joyful reunion awaits me. For now bless my soul to keep on walkin’, Till I too find rest in The Place of those I love. [Final Chorus] Take me, O Lord, I’m ready to go, To The Place my spirit knows. Where angels and kin gather ’round. Where love is eternally-bound— Take me to The Place where my heart longs to be— Where partings cease to be— For in That Place we’ll all forever abide in thee.
