[Verse 1]
I was standing before God
Day of judgement
I done my time in tears
I was trembling, but I made it
Then the gates swung wide
And I heard my name
I was so happy
I couldn't even stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I ran in, fast
Heart on fire
Saw my nana there
Right by the light
And I laughed so hard
I almost fell
I thought, "Lord, I made it"
I could tell
[Chorus]
But you not there
You not there
My daddy looked around
And you not there
You not there
You not there
I turned back fast
And you not there
[Verse 2]
I hugged my nana
Held her like rain
My dad was smiling
Then he called my name
He looked behind him
Then he froze
That joy went quiet
Right there in my soul
He said, "Son, where?"
And my chest went cold
I tried to speak up
But I already knew
[Pre-Chorus]
I ran in, fast
Heart on fire
Saw my nana there
Right by the light
And I laughed so hard
I almost fell
I thought, "Lord, I made it"
I could tell
[Chorus]
But you not there
You not there
My daddy looked around
And you not there
You not there
You not there
I turned back fast
And you not there
[Bridge]
If my name gets called
Let me be ready
If my heart gets loud
Keep it steady
I don't want heaven
With an empty chair
If I'm coming through
I need you there
[Final Chorus]
But you not there
You not there
My daddy looked around
And you not there
You not there
You not there
I turned back fast
And you not there
You not there
You not there
I wanna come home
And have you there
