NANA

(Nana Nana) I hope you know I think about you a lot With all you meant to our family Nana how could I not Out of everyone in the family yeah you were the rock It's incredible now you're standing in the presence of God I miss going to your house and seeing you there with Pop At the kitchen table saying to come in when I'd knock It's crazy how those simple moments had to suddenly stop Wanted more time with you but I cherish all that I got Every conversation you always sat there At the end of the table Listening in that same chair I'll never forget every bit of wisdom that you shared And how you'd always look at me and show me that you cared Just one blink Nana and it all changed I guess I never fully realized what we all take for granted Every second is a gift that we're handed And you taught me how to cherish every one of those each day You were just an angel living here in a broke place I wonder what you're doing are you walking with all the saints Or talking with the Lord Are you looking at His face Clothed in all white covered in his grace Can't wait to be up there with you and see you in no pain I know for you especially that leaving was all gain Hurt to see you to go but now you're dancing in freedom in Heaven So I'll dance too even if it's in cold rain More than I want you back man I wish I was with you You're finally at peace after all that you went through Those brain tumors took you away from us so soon But like you it brought us all closer to God too I know you're watching over us Nana But I pray that you don't ever forget how much we love you 'Cause every day that goes by without you here is a reminder Of the way that you loved God and loved us too. I hope you're singing up there with Jesus I hope you're smiling and it never ceases Are you living in your mansion Nana Are you living in your mansion (Nana Nana) Didn't matter what happened yeah you were always hummin' I don't know if you knew this but yeah that taught me something Taught me no matter what I face His grace is sufficient And there is joy to be found in the sufferin' yeah There was always an endless melody on your lips If you only take one thing away just remember this Your song was more than just music because the Lord He spoke through it And that's the reason I do it to bring glory to Him Do you remember the night when we stayed Late in the choir room talking 'bout the piano I played and I was so frustrated that I couldn't read the page Of music you had set in front of me so I walked away I'll never forget the encouragement that I heard you say Before I left the room you told me I was going places Told me I could do it not to stop and work every day And you said I had a gift and I shouldn't let it go to waste I was just a kid who didn't realize how that would change Everything for me 'cause I'm still playing to this day You saw the potential in me to someday be something great And you were sure be the first one that would fan the flames Your love for music yeah it deepened mine. Now there's always a melody running through my mind I hope I make you proud with this and all that I've written And if it hasn't happened yet then I promise it will with time I miss hearing your voice and how you would sing too If I could I'd play a song right now for you to sing to I miss seeing you smile and the joy you would bring to Everywhere that you went Yeah that's something I cling to I just want you know that you left an impact And I hate that it took you leaving for me to say that Everybody has their own story of what you meant to 'em But my story is a song that I'll never stop playin' back I hope you're singing up there with Jesus I hope you're smiling and it never ceases Are you living in your mansion Nana? Are you living in your mansion? I'm sure you know but this year has been hell on earth for me When I thought it was getting better it would start pouring When life is hard I think about something you once told me "Max one chapter's not the whole story And one verse is not the whole song So don't you ever stop no you keep on going God is reaching out his hand and He'll be there 'til the end You just have to decide if you're gonna hold on" Wish I could talk to you about my problems like before 'Cause honestly this year I've made mistakes I can't ignore But instead of running from 'em I'm just running to the Lord And when I think of what you'd say I'm pushed toward Him that much more I hope you know more than a song I saw the Lord in you He was always using you and others saw it too You will always hold a special place Nana One day I'll be up there dancing with you when my time on earth is through
