The Other Side
Tim Maiden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the other side the widow no longer walk alone
On the other side the lame run down the streets of gold
On the other side
On the other side the blind man will open up his eyes
The first thing that he sees will be the face of Christ
On the other side
On the other side
There are no more goodbyes
Every heart will be unbroken
Every tear wiped from our eyes
Oh sorrow has no grip there
And death is left behind
On the other side
On the other side a mother who lost her child at birth
She'll hold that precious baby and let go of the hurt
Oh how she's waited for the day where she would see that little face
On the other side
There are no more goodbyes
Every heart will be unbroken
Every tear wiped from our eyes
Oh sorrow has no grip there
And death is left behind
On the other side
Oh no more hurting people
No more guilty shame
Forever we'll be changed
On the other side
There are no more goodbyes
Every heart will be unbroken
On the other side
There are no more goodbyes
Every heart will be unbroken
Every tear wiped from our eyes
Oh sorrow has no grip there
And death is left behind
On the other side
We'll sing a brand new song
Oh face to face with Jesus
At last we'll all be home
When grace is written 'cross the sky
And love is open heaven wide
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side
OHHHHHH
