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 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?
