The Sweetest Gift - The Piano Guys/Craig Aven [cover]

Details

Description

Going through loss of any kind is probably one of the hardest things in life; whether it's the loss of a family member, a parent, a child, or a friend; and its especially hard at this time of year. It seems that grief and pain have become the new "normal", and sometimes even the joy of the Christmas season isn't enough to drown it out.

This song was written from the perspective of a parent to a child, but I'd like to dedicate this song to all those looking for hope and comfort. 'The sweetest gift' we can ever receive is knowing that the day is coming when eternal joy will wipe out every sadness we've ever experienced and my prayer is that you'll be as comforted and encouraged as I was through the message in this song.

LYRICS:
I’m not gonna lie
Christmas really hurts this time
Cause you’re not here to celebrate with me
Tears fill my eyes
And memories flood my mind
As I place your ornament upon our tree
Although this year I have a broken heart
It gives me hope and joy as I remember where you are

CHORUS:
You’re with the Son of God
You’re with the Prince of Peace
You’re with the one we're celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we’re apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
You’re with the Son of God

Got your picture in a frame
And stocking with your name
Oh God knows it’s been hard letting go
And I can’t bring you back but I’ll see you again
And oh, that thought is healing to my soul
I’ll miss making angels with you in the snow
I guess instead you will be singing with them all around God’s throne

CHORUS

And I know the Christmas season was your favorite time of year
You loved to help us decorate our tree
But now that you’re with Jesus
Can’t imagine how you feel
cause he’s the one who bleed and died upon
The tree for you and me

CHORUS

Yes, the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
Yes, the sweetest gift is knowing you’re in his arms
You’re with the Son of God
