Should You Go First…..

These lyrics were done on one of Gaither’s Homecoming videos by George Younce. They are so pretty and meaningful as we grow older, just thought I would share them with all of you who read my blogs.


Lyrics:
Should You Go First And I Remain
To Walk The Road Alone
I'll Live In Memory's Garden Dear
With The Happy Days We've Known.

And In Springtime I'll Watch For Rose's Red
When Fades The Lilac Blue
And In Early Fall
When Brown Leaves Call
I'll Catch A Glimpse Of You.

Should You Go First And I Remain
To Finish With The Scroll
No Lengthening Shadows Shall Creep In
To Make This Life so Droll.

We've Known So Much Happiness
And We've Had Our Cup Of Joy
But Memory Is One Gift Of God
That Death Cannot Destroy.

Should You Go First And I Remain
For Battles To Be Fought
Each Thing You've Touched Along The Way
Will Be A Hallowed Spot.

I'll Hear Your Voice
And I'll See Your Smile
And Though Blindly I May Grope
The Memory Of Your Helping Hand
Will Boil Me On With Hope.

Should You Go First And I Remain
One Thing I'd Have You Do
Walk Slowly Down That Long, Long Path
For Soon I'll Follow You.

And I'll Want To Know Each Step You Took
That I May Walk The Same
For Someday Down That Lonely Road
You'll Hear Me Call Your Name.
