I'm not gonna lie
Christmas really hurts this time
cuz you're not here to celebrate with me.
Tears fill my eyes
and memories flood my mind
as I place your ornament upon our tree.
Although this year I have a broken heart
it gives me hope and joy as I remember where you are
You're with the son of God you're with the prince of peace
You're with the one we're celebrating and that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down grieving that we're apart
but the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
cuz you're with the son of God.
Put your picture in a frame
the stocking with your name
Oh God knows it's been hard letting go
I can't bring you back
but I see you again
and oh the thought is healing to my soul.
and I'll miss making angels with you in the snow
I guess instead you will be singing with them all around the throne.
Cuz you're with the son of God
you're with the prince of peace
You're with the one we're celebrating and that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down grieving that we're apart
but the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
you're with the son of God.
And I know how much this season was your favorite time of year
you loved to help us decorate the tree
But now that you're with Jesus can't imagine how you feel
cuz he's the one who bled and died upon the tree for you and me.
You're with the son of God
you're with the prince of peace
You're with the one we're celebrating and that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down grieving that we're apart
but the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
yes the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
the sweetest gift is knowing you're in his arms
you're with the son of God.
