My family

We are a family, devoted and broken

Holding the pieces of all of this hurt

So many words that we left unspoken

Tears falling down to the dust of the earth

We lean on the Lord in the depth of our sorrow

Looking for grace to face our tomorrow

I wish I would have said I loved you more

Before you walked through heaven's open door

I hope you knew how much you meant to us, my Devan

Now you are safe in the promise of heaven

We hold your memory in the holy light

And pray you're looking down on us tonight

I still can hear the gentle way you told us

"You know I love you, and I'm not afraid"

Your courage remains, a spirit to hold us

Through every shadow and every shade

You said, "Live life and be exactly who you want to be"

We'll carry that truth for eternity

I wish I would have said I loved you more

Before you walked through heaven's open door

I hope you knew how much you meant to us, my Devan

Now you are safe in the promise of heaven

We hold your memory in the holy light

And pray you're looking down on us tonight

Lord, heal the ache inside our grieving hearts

Bring us Your comfort when the weeping starts

We are so caring, but we feel so weak

Give us the peace and the healing we seek

We give our beloved to Your tender grace

Until we meet again in that sacred place

I wish I would have said I loved you more

Before you walked through heaven's open door

I hope you knew how much you meant to us, my Devan

Now you are safe in the promise of heaven

You said to live life, and that's what we'll do

My Devan, we will always love you
