Album: Love Remains (2016)

Safe Haven

My papa was a big 'ol man
He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
He held us altogether
The family corner stone
His voice was deep just like his fate
He'd always call me, "sugar babe"
And what I wouldn't give to hear "I love you" one more time
He loved to read John 3:16
Tapped along to hymns we'd sing
He left us so much more than earthly things

Sometimes when there's no answer
Or no reason for the pain
And I just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
You're my safe haven

He said my home's not here, no I'm not bound
My home is built on higher ground
And where I'm going, oh goodbye don't mean a thing
There's gonna be some things I miss
But don't forget God promises we'll be together on the other side

Sometimes when there's no answer
Or no reason for the pain
And I just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
You're my safe haven

Ooh, ooh, oh
It's comfort for my heart that breaks
To know you're in a better place
And that I'll see your loving face again
I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven
So even when my faith on earth is shaken
You're my safe haven
You're my safe haven

My papa was a big 'ol man
He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
