This Side Of Heaven

Four years old, dressed up like a super hero Always smiling, never showing he ain't well His mom and daddy held his hand through all the chemo And sometimes this side of heaven is hell

Sara Rollins, she left home right out of high school Felt the call to serve the day those towers fell She came back home today underneath the flag And a twenty-one gun salute Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

Somewhere right now a thousand tears are falling Somewhere right now a heart's all out of break Sometimes it feels like God don't hear us calling out for help Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

Young couple laugh and cry and celebrate Two little pink lines showed up clear as a bell But their world crashed down When the ultrasound found no heartbeat Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

Somewhere right now a thousand tears are falling Somewhere right now a heart's all out of break Sometimes it feels like God don't hear us calling out for help Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

I know that on the other side there's healing Jesus said there ain't no sorrow up there But sometimes it takes all I've got to hold onto the promise That only this side of heaven is hell

Somewhere right now bells and tears are falling Somewhere right now a heart's all out of break Sometimes it feels like God don't hear us calling out for help Sometimes this side of heaven is hell

But only this side of heaven is hell
