let him in anyway

Blake Shelton

Ain t it a scary thing
When somebody s time here ends?
Layin flowers on their grave
Wonderin where their soul went
I tried and I tried, he was startin to listen
I brought him to church, he was feeling conviction
But you took him away fore I could convince him
So I m here on my knees, sayin

Hey, God
I know you know what I m bout to pray, God
I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
And I don t ever wanna never see him again
And I know the only way to get in is through you
And he wasn t quite the Christian he was supposed to be
And Lord, it ain t my place
But could you let him in anyway?

I can t imagine th? day
On my heart s last beat
When I walk through thos? gates
And he ain t waitin on me
All I needed was a little more time, I swear
I was so dang close, it ain t fair

So, hey, God
I know you know what I m bout to pray, God
I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
And I don t ever wanna never see him again
And I know the only way to get in is through you
And he wasn t quite the Christian he was supposed to be
And Lord, it ain t my place
But could you let him in anyway?

Cause he was gonna let you in any day
And I m just askin for a miracle
I know you don t owe me anything

But, hey, God
I know you know what I m bout to pray, God
I just had to suck it up and say goodbye to my best friend
And I don t ever wanna never see him again
And I know the only way to get in is through you
And he wasn t quite the Christian he was supposed to be
And Lord, it ain t my place
Could you let him in anyway?
Could you let him in anyway?
