Left Your Body

We were sitting there nervous, trying to keep our eyes from making contact
You were laying there, looking worse than you had looked the previous Sunday
I was trying to imagine how it felt for you when you released it
Tried to put myself inside your shoes and felt like that was selfish
I don't know what it looks like where you are, but, I mean, it must look better
Than just laying around and counting down until you meet your maker
I imagine that he held your hand and showed you that you're far from perfect
That every single person he created's been a screw up--you can't help it
Might as well just take that blame, take off your shoes, start getting comfy
There is nothing but forgiveness here--the journey's over, glad you met me
There is nothing but deliverance here--it's pure and larger than you could be
All the judgement that you yelled about is more about yourself than you think
I'm a seven-page laundry list of sinful deeds I swore were not me
And the valley of the shadow of my death still scares the soul out of me
I couldn't even wrap my head around how I could find a throne for judging
Still I sat there quietly resenting you, resenting daddy
All that I can do is hope and hope and hope that the Lord will treat me
The way that I believe he treated you when you left this earth and body
