The Glorious Unfolding cover
11. Michael And Maria
Album: The Glorious Unfolding
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
         
 

Michael and Maria, we can’t wait to see your faces
We already miss you more than words can say
I know we’re only separated from you by a thin veil
But it feels like we’re a million miles away

We didn’t really know how much we loved you ‘til we lost you
I know we didn’t really lose you
That’s just how it looks from here
But right now if we’re all honest, we don’t like God’s higher ways
But we are trusting Him ‘cause what else can we do
And He is holding us while He is holding you
So Michael and Maria, we’ll see you soon

Michael and Maria, someone said they thought they saw you
Giving names to babies this world never knew
I’m sure by now you’ve found your Great Grandparents
And some friends like Dave and Erin
I bet you’ve met Moses, too

We never knew how much our hearts could hurt until we lost you
I know we didn’t really lose you
That’s just how it feels down here
Right now it seems we’ll never understand God’s higher ways
But we are trusting Him until the day we do
And He will carry us just like He carries you
So Michael and Maria, we’ll see you soon

Oh, this is a long, hard journey
We travel in the blink of an eye
Oh, without this Hope we have in Jesus
There’s no way on Earth we could survive
We never would survive

No, we didn’t really know how much we loved you ‘til we lost you
I know we didn’t really lose you
That’s just how it looks from here
Right now it seems we’ll never understand God’s higher ways
But we are trusting Him until the day we do
And He will carry us just like He carries you
And if we believe His promises are true
Michael and Maria, I know we’ll see you soon

Gonna see you soon
I know we’ll see you soon
