My Brothers Keeper
Lyrics
They say the good die young and I believe them now
So many memories I'll never replace
Mourn you til I join you, Wiping tears from my face
Cause I'm my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Its hard to write what I feel when these tears blur my vision
Its hard to eat a meal when you're not here in the kitchen
My life was your mission, I know your sins forgiven
And if God has mercy, I pray you're resting with him
This life is a prison, so He had to set you free
But there's still so much I wish that you could see
Like the man I grew to be and I'm far from perfect
But you took me under your wing when I was practically worthless
No need for churches, you preached the sermons
And even in death, I feel your encouragement
Pushed my talents to the limits just because of your strength
And the time the Lord gave me, I have to give thanks
In the wake of my mistakes, sometimes I go numb
But the memories come back with a sip of this rum
You're the heart of my Heart, look at what I've become
And the lessons you taught, I'll pass on to my sons
They say the good die young and I believe them now
So many memories I'll never replace
Mourn you til I join you, Wiping tears from my face
Cause I'm my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
I hold on to your words like the Bible in church
I try to stay strong, but these memories hurt
If I could have you back, life would be perfect
I'd give my life for yours, but you cant fool God
He took the Diamond not the pebble in the path
I plead with the Lord but it only made Him laugh
And if there's living after life, please guide my steps
I felt your hand clear my tears, late night as I wept
Now you ghost write my lyrics with the power of your spirit
Deep in thought I hear it, so I know up there they feel it
Dear Lord why'd you take the best to the grave
I'd burn in forever to relive our last days
And soak in the sulfur to see a smile on your face
Food for thought, I can finally taste
So it's been a hot minute since I caught me a case
You're just proof in my eyes that God is grace
They say the good die young and I believe them now
So many memories I'll never replace
Mourn you til I join you, Wiping tears from my face
Cause I'm my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
They say the good die young, die young, die young
They say the good die young,
So I'm reaching out to heaven
Trying to feel your soul again
Lord forgive my ignorance, I don't know what your plan is
But you took my friends and I just don't understand it
Raise your light to the sky right now
Put your prayers in the air right now
Please Jesus just take care of my friends
Lord Jesus take care of my friends
And if you lost somebody and you're listening now
Put your hands up high like your touching the clouds
They say the good die young and I believe them now
So many memories I'll never replace
Mourn you til I join you, Wiping tears from my face
Cause I'm my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
Cause I'm my my brothers keeper
They say the good die young, die young, die young
They say the good die young
So I'm reaching out to heaven
Trying to feel your soul again
Lord forgive my ignorance, I don't know what your plan is
But you took my friends and I just don't understand it
Cause I'm my brothers keeper
