If I could paint a portrait, if I could help you see--
My Father's view from heaven, His grace and love that's free;
If I could help you hear Him, if only you'd agree,
My saviour's need to love you, His friend and brother be.

Chorus-Tell me where you'll be, when the herald's trumpet sounds?
Tell me where you'll be, when the saints are Heaven bound?

If you could only see Him, to Him surrender fears,
He'd calm you in your troubles, and wipe away your tears.
If you could see Him dying, His bloodstained hands outstretched,
Him pleading my forgiveness, for this unworthy wretch.

2nd Chorus-Tell me where you'll be, will you join with heaven's throng?
Tell me where you'll be, will you sing the wedding song?

If you could hear Him whisper, His gentle words of grace,
How much He longs to free you, and meet Him face to face.
But I can only tell you, and pray that you will see,
That one day you will hear Him, in Jesus' presence be.

3rd. Chorus-Tell me where you'll be, will you be the saviour's friend?
Tell me where you'll be, have a life that never ends?
