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?
