Album: Brave
Here I am with a thousand questions
Wonderin' why it had to be this way
Knowin' that your days on earth were numbered
But wishin' God would have let you stay
And though it's hard to carry on without you
I know without a doubt your dreams are comin' true
Here we've all been cryin'
But there your tears are dryin'
Here we're broken-hearted
But there you're free from care
Here we've all been grievin'
But where you are there's healin'
No more hurt, and no more pain to bear
Yeah, we all miss you here
But you're better off there.
I cannot imagine the amazement
As Jesus held your hand and led you in
Oh the peace you must've felt while walkin'
Through the gates where time will never end
And though it's hard to carry on without you
I know that one day heaven will be my home too
Here we've all been cryin'
But there your tears are dryin'
Here we're broken-hearted
But there you're free from care
Here we've all been grievin'
But where you are there's healin'
No more hurt, and no more pain to bear
Yeah, we all miss you here
But you're better off there.
If there was a way to bring you back somehow
I wouldn't 'cause I know where you are right now
Here we've all been cryin'
But there your tears are dryin'
Here we're broken-hearted
But there you're free from care
Here we've all been grievin'
But where you are there's healin'
No more hurt, and no more pain to bear
Yeah, we all miss you here
But you're better off there.
