When I Said Go ©
Lyrics: Tim Sharp 2016

Verse 1
As your light grows dim and your curtain falls
Hear my voice as I softly call
It's time to rest from the race you have run
Your faithful work on earth is finally done

Verse 2
You took my sight to those who could not see
You held them up when they were weak
When storm clouds rolled over darkened land
You shared my light giving a helping hand

Chorus
So hurry now my faithful son
Your work on earth is finally done
Wear this crown of jewels for all of Heav'n to see
When I said 'Go', you always went for me
When I said 'Go', you always went for me

Verse 3
When fragile lives were being torn apart
You went for me, you showed a servant's heart
When lost sheep needed someone to lead
You gently guided them right back to me

Chorus
So hurry now my faithful son
Your work on earth is finally done
Wear this crown of jewels for all of Heav'n to see
When I said 'Go', you always went for me
When I said 'Go', you always went for me

Verse 4
When there was pain and too much suffering
With deep despair leading to agony
Or empty tables with no food to eat
You fed their needs and turned them to my peace

Chorus
So hurry now my faithful son
For now your work on earth is finally done
Wear this crown of jewels for all of Heav'n to see
'Cause when I said 'Go'....
Son, when I said 'Go'....
When I said 'Go', you always went for me
When I said 'Go', you always went for me
