I've Got to Believe

I see your clothes all on the floor                           
You cannot wear them anymore                           
I hear your drums inside my head                         
You’ll never play them again   

Losing you is killing me         

I’ve got to believe                                             
You weren’t alone                                           
I’ve got to believe                                           
Jesus brought you home    

From hugs to school to soccer goals                          
Where did your childhood go                                    
Now when it’s time to eat                                            
I stare at your empty seat                                            

Losing you is killing me    

I’ve got to believe                                             
You weren’t alone                                           
I’ve got to believe                                           
Jesus brought you home   

You won’t say your wedding vows                 
You won’t see your child’s smiles       
You won’t share your faith                           
But we’ll meet at Heaven’s gate     

I’ve got to believe 

So I do believe                                               
You weren’t alone                                            
I do believe                                              
Jesus brought you home                                   
                               
I do believe                                                      
Jesus carried you home
