I Will Go

Spock's Beard

Help me, I'm dying
Help me, I'm dying, now, oh

And as the whirlwinds disappeared
  (I looked around and I was here)
The clouds were clearing from my eyes
  (My life stood still and began to rise)

And all the faces round about
  (Began to smile and call me out)
No time to think, nothing to know
  (Just one tremendous letting go)

And God was there behind a veil
   (And everyone I'd helped or failed)
These words escaped inside my soul
  (There's no denying)

(I will go)
Go before the Gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound
(I will go)
You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength

(I will go)
Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me
(I will go)
Love will be your ministry
Let it fly when you open up the flood line

And when I finally came around
  (Propped in a bed my head bound)
I saw my friends they all were there
  (Some eyes were wet some eyes were clear)

They gathered round and touched my hand
  (And I began to understand)
I saw a future yet unknown
  (I saw a child returning home)

And the One said, "Welcome back, my friend"
  (He brought me back to life again)
And when He calls me down the road
  (I will be going)

(I will go)
Go before the Gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound
(I will go)
You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength

(I will go)
Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me
(I will go)
Love will be your ministry
Let it fly when you open up the flood line
