Where You Belong

I'll never quite understand why you had to go.

But sometimes, pain is what makes us grow.

I loved you with everything I had, and when you left,

I felt like I'd never love again.

It was just that bad.

And though you'' never be here anymore,

I'll keep shutting that painful door.

I'll hold onto you for too long,

and then I'll let you go, because

I know where you belong.

Day by day the memories of you made

everything seem okay.

I know you're in a better place,

but I wish you would have stayed.

But moving on is the price I had to pay.

Though you're not here anymore.

I've learned to shut that painful door.

I held onto you for so long, but I finally

let you go because I know where you belong.

Jesus paid it all, so that when you took your fall,

He would pick you up and take you where you belong.

And that took me too long to see, that He has made you free.
