  • Ain't it a scary thing
    When somebody's time here ends?
    Layin' flowers on their grave
    Wonderin' where their soul went
    I tried and I tried, he was startin' to listen
    I brought him to church, he was feeling conviction
    But you took him away 'fore I could convince him
    So I'm here on my knees, sayin'

    Hey, God
    I know you know what I'm 'bout to pray, God
    I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
    And I don't ever wanna never see him again
    And I know the only way to get in is through you
    And he wasn't quite the Christian he was supposed to be
    And Lord, it ain't my place
    But could you let him in anyway?

    I can't imagine the day
    On my heart's last beat
    When I walk through those gates
    And he ain't waitin' on me
    All I needed was a little more time, I swear
    I was so dang close, it ain't fair

    So, hey, God
    I know you know what I'm 'bout to pray, God
    I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
    And I don't ever wanna never see him again
    And I know the only way to get in is through you
    And he wasn't quite the Christian he was supposed to be
    And Lord, it ain't my place
    But could you let him in anyway?

    'Cause he was gonna let you in any day
    And I'm just askin' for a miracle
    I know you don't owe me anything

    But, hey, God
    I know you know what I'm 'bout to pray, God
    I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
    And I don't ever wanna never see him again
    And I know the only way to get in is through you
    And he wasn't quite the Christian he was supposed to be
    And Lord, it ain't my place
    Could you let him in anyway?

    Could you let him in anyway? Writer/s: Carson Wallace, Kyle Clark, Michael Hardy, Zach Abend
