[Verse 1]
The kitchen clock was barely turning
When the room grew still and wide
We gathered close around your bedside
With your children by your side
Your favorite quilt was on your shoulders
Your hand was warm in mine
And every face you ever cared for
Was there to see you shine
[Chorus]
You were surrounded by your family
Every heart was holding on
Then you slipped away so softly
Like the night gives way to dawn
Wrapped in God's arms, free from sorrow
Resting where the lost ones roam
We said every word we carried
Before we walked back home
[Verse 2]
Your oldest told the stories laughing
Your youngest held your sleeve
We spoke about the Sunday dinners
And the songs you used to sing
The grandchildren stood in silence
With their flowers on the chair
And I could feel a lifetime leaving
Still, your love was everywhere
[Chorus]
You were surrounded by your family
Every heart was holding on
Then you slipped away so softly
Like the night gives way to dawn
Wrapped in God's arms, free from sorrow
Resting where the lost ones roam
We said every word we carried
Before we walked back home
[Bridge]
I’ll miss the way you said my name
The coffee waiting by the door
But every good thing that I am
Was something you were living for
[Final Chorus]
You were surrounded by your family
And we watched the daylight fade
Wrapped in God's arms, held forever
By the love your life had made
Though the house is quiet without you
Your voice will lead me home
We’ll carry you in every prayer
Until we meet beyond
[Outro]
Goodbye mom
