After I Am Gone

Mm

When the night grows quiet and my chair is still
And the house feels colder on the windowsill
If my voice don't echo down the hall
Don't think I'm lost, I heard His call

I walk through valleys dark and deep
Where broken fathers fall and weep
But Psalm 23 kept holding on
The Shepherd said: You're not alone

After I'm gone, don't cry too long
Heaven was my home all along
If you feel a whisper in the wind
That's my love reaching you again

The grave ain't strong
Love lives on
Jesus wrote my name in stone
After I'm gone, I'm not alone

Mm

Remember the prayers beside your bed
All the words I never said
Every tear I tried to hide
God was counting them inside

Like the pride of a running back
Grace covered every crack
The Father opened up His door
I don't hurt anymore

After I'm gone, lift your eyes
We'll meet beyond the skies
'Cause this goodbye's not the end
It's where forever begins

Mm, the grave ain't strong
Love lives on
The land has overcome it all
After I'm gone, sing my song
We'll meet beyond the dawn

Mm, mm
