Empty Chair ft. Ben Kimsal Lyrics

The lights on the tree aren't as bright as could be

And the bells aren't quite chiming as clear

This pale fireside isn't warm and alive

Like it was when you were here

With the holidays surely upon us

Traditions begin to unfold

They'll be pushing us forward and taking us back

With each story of you that is told

But it somehow feels wrong

To pick up and move on

So we'll set you a place at the table

Reminisce of the lifetime we shared

Telling stories and tales of the days that stood still

The memories past, the days gone too fast

We'll remember your smile at the table

How your joy would touch everyone there

We'll share laughter and cheers, try to hold back the tears

Looking over at your empty chair

At the table

The tunes that we sing, have a different ring

When your voice isn't singing along

But I know of a place, where together again

We'll proclaim a joyful song

Because even in all of our mourning

Our hope can fully be found

In the baby who came, gave Himself to be slain

So that death could not hold us down

So as we await

That glorious Day

We will choose to have joy at the table

For we know that this isn't the end

He is setting a place, at His table of grace

Where we'll all be together again

You'll be waiting for us at His table

And He'll cast away all of our cares

We will lift up His praise, with the angels and saints

And they'll never be an empty chair

At His table
