Let Him In Anyway

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
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
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?
