Crystal River Lyrics

He was the best friend anyone could have had
The reason he did what he did
Was ‘cause he hurt so bad
And I know he’s in Heaven, no longer living in pain
He’s under the shelter of the Most High
He’s out of the rain

Lay your head down, sleep tight
You’ll always be in my heart
My little brother for eternal life
And we’re anxious, but we know you wait
We know you’ll wait
To take us by the hand, into another land
Through those pearly gates

And my eyes are filled with wonder and stories
That cannot be told
I remember the demons surrounding me
And taking their hold
He washed away my acid tears
And fought the fight that I could not fight
Then all of the demons and fear
Were consumed with his holy light

I can hear the angels sing and now I understand
I enter the gates of Heaven holding Jesus’ hand
Look, there’s Daddy, and the animals talk
And the lion lays down with the lamb
Now I stand by the crystal river
In the bosom of Abraham

I will live forever
With the First Born of the Dead
I will live forever
With the First Born of the Dead
I will live forever
I will live forever
