Only the Living

They're gathered round the bedside, broken hearts and memories
And no one wants to say goodbye
Prayers are being whispered, as the moment's drawing nearer
And they're wishing for a little more time
But they know it will come, and when it's said and done

Only the living, regret the living
It's the only the ones left behind who cry

Only the living, no shadows of grieving
But thеre is joy on the other sidе

Ooh it may feel like the sorrow will hang around forever
But weeping only lasts for a night
The God of all comfort who holds us while we're hurting
Will make everything alright
So we trust and know, that tho we ache we know

Only the living, regret the living
It's only the ones left behind who cry
Only the living, no shadows of grieving
But there is joy on the other side

When Jesus stands waiting with arms open wide
And he wipes every tear from eyes

Only the living, regret the living
It's only the ones left behind who cry
Only the living, no shadows of grieving, but there is joy
Yes, there's so much joy
On the other side
