When It's Time To Go
Nothing new in this old town
The sun comes up and heads back down
Working hard from dawn to dusk again
Seventeen and a heart for change
The byways calling out His name
But not yet, there�s too much going on
Daddy needs a hand and mama�s tender heart
Might crumble to the ground
Though they�d understand He felt like saying
CHORUS:
When it�s time to go
You�ve got to let Me go away and face the world
Say goodbye, cry some tears, but don�t worry
When I hit the city
I�ll build you a house
Right down the street from Mine
Have some faith in Me and I�ll show you why
Some years later late one night
He came in trying to dry His eyes
He realized what he was born to do
He said I�ll always be your son
And I know you know what�s going on
It�s the hardest thing to think of leaving you
But this world needs a hand
And I�ve got just the thing they need to make it through
It�s so clear to me & though I know what�s coming�
And as they tore His flesh like animals
There were those I know who felt Him say�
