Speak into the Silence

If mercy writes a better ending, if grace outlives the pain,
Then leave your heart beside me when you stand by my grave.
Don't bring me all your sorrow, don't stay too long in pain.
I'm not beneath the earth, my love,
I'm somewhere past the rain.
Stand by my grave and feel the silence turning to a quiet peace.
All the love we left unfinished, God will finally complete.
If there's a place where souls awaken,
Where broken hearts are saved,
Then I'll be waiting in that light beyond my grave.
Stand by my grave, but don't you cry,
I'm still alive on the other side.
