By my grandfather's bed, my mother is reading
Psalm 62, God is our refuge
My grandfather stirs, could it be
He is waking, one final time
He has something to say

If you only knew what lies awaiting
If you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the music playing
The angels singing sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew
How much he loves you

By my grandfather's bed, my mother is broken
Psalm 17, O God I call on you
She doesn't want to hear
Any words about leaving
My grandfather says
"Fear not, this is my time
And into his presence I'll fly"

If you only knew what lies awaiting
If you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the music playing
The angels singing sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew
How much he loves you
