Riley Clemmons – This Side of Heaven

Lyrics: This Side of Heaven by Riley Clemmons

You promised to save me a seat
Somewhere up there next to Jesus
And I promised you I’d try to be
Strong when you had to leave us
Well, you’re probably keeping yours
While I’m down here breaking mine
Don’t know how this world without you
Will ever feel alright

This side of Heaven, I’m missing you
Figuring out how to make it through
Another day without you here
Breath by breath and tear by tear

This side of Heaven, my heart still aches
Even though I know you’re in a better place
It’s hard sometimes to sing, “It is well”
When it still hurts like hell
This side of Heaven

I ask God how you’re doing
Every single time I pray
And I think I’ll always do it
Even though I know you’re okay
Wish I could hear your voice
Wish I could hold your hand
But until my soul comes home
And I see you again

This side of Heaven, I’m missing you
Figuring out how to make it through
Another day without you here
Breath by breath and tear by tear

This side of Heaven, my heart still aches
Even though I know you’re in a better place
It’s hard sometimes to sing, “It is well”
When it still hurts like hell
This side of Heaven

On this side of Heaven
I miss you, yeah, yeah

And I remember at your lowest
You would smile at me and say
“God made this life worth living
Even on our hardest days”
And you meant those words you told me
‘Cause you were fighting through the pain
Oh God, I pray You’d give me
That stubborn kind of faith

This side of Heaven, I’m missing you
Figuring out how to make it through
Another day without you here
Breath by breath and tear by tear

‘Cause this side of Heaven, my heart still aches
Even though I know you’re in a better place
It’s hard sometimes to sing, “It is well”
When it still hurts like hell
This side of Heaven
