It was way past midnight And she still couldn't fall asleep This night the dream was leavin' She tried so hard to keep And with the new day's dawnin' She felt it driftin' away Not only for a cruise, not only for a day Too long ago, too long apart She couldn't wait another day for The captain of her heart As the day came up, she made a stop She stopped waitin' another day for The captain of her heart Too long ago, too long apart She couldn't wait another day for The captain of her heart Too long ago, too long apart She couldn't wait another day for The captain of her heart As the day came up, she made a stop She stopped waitin' another day for The captain of her heart Too long ago, too long apart She couldn't wait another day for The captain of her heart The captain of her heart

"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them And the glory of the Lord shone round about them" The morning light was soft and low The clouds had left an early snow A peaceful sound was calling low "It's time to go" Then God reached out His tender hand And gently pulled her home with Him And brushed away the sorrow from her soul within And I could hear the roses sing A bluebird softly claps its wings The sun seemed brighter than it's ever been And now she's dancing in the wind With her true love again Where her heart has always been Where her heart has always been And I could hear the roses sing A bluebird softly claps its wings The sun seemed brighter than it's ever been And now she's dancing in the wind With her true love again Where her heart has always been Where her heart has always been Where her heart has always been The morning light was soft and low The clouds had left an early snow

I know the captain of the ship I'm sailing on. I know the destination that I'm heading for. And I pray that the wind is at my back, and the sun is on my face So I'll see a better land with God's amazing grace. I'm taking inventory counting up the cost, And if I keep my eyes on Jesus, I won't get lost. And I pray that captain of my ship will calm the raging seas. And lead me to a land where I can truly be free. There's got to be a better place where my heart can be at rest. As we ride on the wings of love; all nations will be blest. There's got to be a better hope when I come to the end of my quest, And I can lay my head where peaceful waters flow. My captain says He loves me just the way I am He'll take me where the lions lay down with the lambs There's a light that shines from the Lighthouse that guides me along my way Where I'll see a better land where I'll be free some day. There's got to be a better place where my heart can be at rest. As we ride on the wings of love; all nations will be blest. There's got to be a better hope when I come to the end of my quest, And I can lay my head where peaceful waters flow.
