Before I wake from this heavy dream
The newspaper sits on your side of the wood
I'd read it to you if I only could
But the dust just settles where you used to be
Across the table away from me
I'm asking the shadows, I'm asking the wall
"Why did you take her? Why her first of all?"
Do You have her, Lord
In the House where the light never dies?
Can You hold her close?
Wipe the silver years from her eyes
I am lonely, I'm broken, I'm shivering here
In the silence of every passing year
But if she's in Your arms, safe from the rain
Then I'll find the strength to carry this pain
I see your Bible, the pages are worn
Right at the place where the spirit is born
He used to say that the best is yet to come
That this world is a journey, but Heaven is home
Now the chair is just wood, and the wound is just stone
But I feel a warmth when I'm most alone
Like a breath on my shoulder, a song in the air
You left me your face in the empty chair
Do You have her, Lord
In the House where the light never dies?
Can You hold her close?
Wipe the silver years from her eyes
I am lonely, I'm broken, I'm shivering here
In the silence of every passing year
But if she's in Your arms, safe from the rain
Then I'll find the strength to carry this pain
Mm
Let the gray then go away
Let the grace be the key
I know she is waiting
On the shore of the sea
I believe, oh, I believe
Do You have her, Lord
In the House where the light never dies?
Can You hold her close?
If she's in Your arms, then I'm not afraid
Because in Your love, our promise was made
Hm-ooh
One cup today
But I'll see you at dinner
Ooh
5:10
