[Verse 1] I see the worry in your eyes Every time I start to fade We keep pretending there's more time Like it’s something we can save But my hands shake when I hold you And the truth is getting loud I wish that I could stay here I wish this wasn't now [Chorus] So I'm saying goodbye sooner than we thought Leaving you with pieces of my heart I never lost You’re gonna walk through valleys I thought I’d walk you through But the Shepherd who found me Will be standing next to you I’m going home before you But I won’t leave you alone [Verse 2] Tell the kids I love their laughs Hang their drawings on the wall Teach them every silly song Let them know I heard them all When you sit down at the table And you set one less plate Talk to Jesus like you knew me He’s the one who holds my place [Chorus] So I'm saying goodbye sooner than we thought Leaving you with pieces of my heart I never lost You’re gonna walk through valleys I thought I’d walk you through But the Shepherd who found me Will be standing next to you I’m going home before you But I won’t leave you alone [Bridge] If the nights feel long and heavy (oh Lord) And my side of bed is cold Remember every promise He has always kept His word I will see His face in glory You will see His hand down here Different rooms The same strong Father Counting every tear [Chorus] So I'm saying goodbye sooner than we thought Leaving you with pieces of my heart I never lost You’re gonna walk through valleys I thought I’d walk you through But the Shepherd who found me Will be standing next to you I’m going home before you To the One who calls me His own I’m going home before you But I won’t leave you alone
