Gone Away - Matthew E. White

Streets of gold, in Jesus' robes

Where peace resounds like a river, they say

Why are you living in Heaven today?

Your body’s cold

Your body’s so cold

But your sins and your sorrows are all done away

Why are you living there now, baby?

Why are you living there now?

Gone away, child

Taken away

Why are you living in Heaven today?

Why are you living there now?

Stolen away, baby

Given away

Why are you living in Heaven today?

Why are you living there now?

We cling to the cross with trembling and fear

And all of our hearts are burdened with care

The family is broken and pouring out tears

We’ll miss you, baby

We miss you, dear

Gone away

And baby, given away

Why are you living in Heaven today?

Why are you living there now?

Stolen away

Baby, taken away

Why are you living in Heaven today?

Why are you living there now?

He will break your kingdom down

He will tear your kingdom down
