The Swon Brothers - This Side Of Heaven Lyrics

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
