I am going where I've never been
I am going where there's no sin
There I will join my Lord and my friends
Yes, I am going where I've never been,
Don't be crying thoses bitter tears
Don't be crying 'cause I'm not here
I'll be happy the first time in years
So don't be crying those bitter tears,
I have travelled life's weary highways
And my last journey is at hand
I can hear the angels calling
And I am going where I've never been,
[Instrumental]
I have travelled life's weary highways
Now my last journey is at hand
I can hear the angels calling
And I am going where I've never been,
'Cause, I am going where I've never been...
I Am Going
Randy Travis's song 'I Am Going' is a gospel song about a believer's peaceful anticipation of heaven. The lyrics express confidence in leaving behind earthly struggles and sin to join the Lord and loved ones in a sinless place. The singer comforts mourners not to weep, as he will finally find happiness. The song references hearing angels calling and describes life as a weary journey ending in a new, unexplored destination. It offers hope and reassurance about the afterlife, focusing on the joy of eternal rest rather than sorrow over death.
