Will You Know Me in Heaven

I still set a place at the table

Fold your name into my grace

Talk to air like you’re beside me

Chase your shadow through this space

If love is all we’re left with

When the body’s gone and done

Tell me what becomes of faces

When we stand inside that sun

Will you know me in heaven

When the hurting finally ends

Will my laugh

My scars

My stubborn heart

Still sound like your old friend

If I make it to that garden

Where the broken don’t pretend

Will you find me

Will you hold me

Will you know me in heaven

I keep every sweater you slept in

Wear them thin on rainy days

Hoping somehow through the fabric

You remember how I stayed

If every tear is counted

If every night is seen

Will you recognize the pieces

Of the you inside of me

Will you know me in heaven

When the hurting finally ends

Will my laugh

My scars

My stubborn heart

Still sound like your old friend

If I make it to that garden

Where the broken don’t pretend

Will you find me

Will you hold me

Will you know me in heaven

Maybe love’s a kind of anchor (oh)

That the grave can’t pull apart

Maybe every holy whisper

Is you humming in my heart

Will you know me in heaven

When the hurting finally ends

Will my laugh

My scars

My stubborn heart

Still sound like your old friend

If I make it to that garden

Where the broken don’t pretend

Will you find me

Will you hold me

Call my name and then

I’ll know I’m home in heaven
