Lyrics
Well, hey God
I just lost a dear old friend
And hey God
I hope he’s in your angel bed
And hey God
You know he believed in you
Just help me understand
Why you do the things you do?
Well, hey God
Send me down some comfort, please
Hey God
I’ll be down here on my knees
Hey God
Will we ever comprehend
The forgiveness and grace
That lies waiting in the end?
Oh, there’s anger and tears
For all of the years
That your children won’t have you to hold
Oh, my heart has been broken
The angels have spoken
Still, I wish I could watch you grow old
Well, hey God
I know he didn’t die alone
Hey God
Tell my old friend welcome home
Hey God
Please hear me when I pray
Pray for a little peace
‘Til we meet again someday
Pray for a little peace
‘Til we meet again someday
