Soft Rain
Words & Music by Ali Dent & Steve Siler

The road out ahead seems forbidding
with shadows and turns through the unknown
The wind is in your face
You feel so out of place
and there’s no way to get back home
You wonder how you’ll survive in this parched, dry land
Then the sky opens up and by mercy’s hand
There you stand

in a soft rain
a soft, soft rain
falling gently all around you
These cleansing drops from heaven
are the Savior’s healing tears
Flowing to wash away the pain
like a soft, soft rain

This isn’t the life you were expecting
Full of heartache and promises betrayed
The picture perfect dream
wasn’t what it seemed
and it all blew up in your face
You wonder how you could ever have trust again
But then hope speaks your name in a gentle wind
and love descends

like a soft rain
a soft, soft rain
falling gently all around you
These cleansing drops from heaven
are the Savior’s healing tears
Flowing to wash away the pain
like a soft, soft rain

These cleansing drops from heaven
are the Savior’s living water
Flowing to wash away the pain
like a soft, soft rain
Flowing to wash away the pain
like a soft, soft rain

Before we Said Hello
Words & Music by Steve Siler

We were so excited
What anticipation
We’d prepared a place for you inside our hearts
Oh, how you were wanted
We had plans and dreams
Then in an instant it all came apart

Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve love interrupted that has no place to go
We said goodbye before we said hello

They say you’re in Heaven
and someday I’ll see you
But that doesn’t fill the ache I’m feeling now
Your life was so special
Such a miracle
Now life goes on but I just don’t know how

Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve the child who’s living in our hearts but not our home
We said goodbye before we said hello

You are my angel and we’ll never be apart
I may not hold in my arms but I’ll still hold you in my heart

Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve the hopes cut short
The memories we’ll never know
Why? Oh why?
Did we have to say goodbye before we said hello

Why?
Words & Music by Becky Nordquist & Steve Siler

I know my pain makes you feel uncomfortable
You search for words to make it go away
My baby’s gone and my heart is shattered
The last thing I need to hear is a cliché

So don’t tell me you can always have another
That God must’ve needed him more than his mother
Don’t give me tired, empty phrases
They hurt more than they help
Why did God have to take my angel?

I know you think that Jesus is the answer
And yes it’s true I know I need Him now
But He wouldn’t try to talk away my feelings
He’d share the tears my soul is pouring out

So don’t tell me you can always have another
That God must’ve needed her more than her mother
Don’t tell me it was meant to be
When I’m going through this hell
Why did God take away my angel?

Don’t try and fix this
Just sit with me and listen
And if all I have is sorrow
Let it be

Don’t tell me you can always have another
That God must’ve needed him more than his mother
Please think before you speak
I know that you mean well
But you can’t tell me why
No one can tell me why
Why did God have to take away my angel?

When?
Words & Music by Steve Siler

I thought you were safe
in a warm, peaceful place
Surrounded by the comfort of my love
Then it suddenly turned
I heard the awful words
I lost you before your time had come
Then the dream became a nightmare
and joy became despair

‘cause you were part of my life
and I was part of your death
and everyone thinks that its over
But I’m not over you yet
When will that day come?
Never my son

There was no one I could tell
who’d understand how I felt
I was isolated in my pain
The world carried on
But part of me was gone
Now I carry this shadow of blame
Why couldn’t I throw you a lifeline?
I feel like I did something wrong

‘cause you were part of my life
and I was part of your death
and everyone thinks that its over
But I’m not over you yet
When my tears run out of water
I’ll be over you daughter

I need friends who will sit with me and listen
I need friends who will sit with me and cry
I need friends who don’t need easy answers
Who are OK with why?
‘cause you were part of my life
I was part of your death
and everyone thinks that its over
But I’m not over you yet
When will that day come?
When will tears run out of water?
When will I see you smile?
In heaven my child

Heaven’s Playground
Words & Music by Becky Nordquist, Steve Siler, & Tony Wood

Sometimes I imagine
a sea of shining faces
Warm sunshine and blue skies
and children running free
And suddenly I’m smiling
to see you there with Jesus
to know you’re home and happy
means everything to me

That’ll you’ll never know pain
You’ll only know love
You’ll never know tears
in the land of joy above
Where laughter is the only sound
on Heaven’s playground

Sometimes when I miss you
sorrow casts a shadow
I linger with the sadness
and feel the things I feel
But then I remember
in this very moment
You’re living in His presence
and forever you are healed

and…
You’ll never know pain
You’ll only know love
You’ll never know tears
in the land of joy above
Where laughter is the only sound
on Heaven’s playground

The only way these arms could let you go
is to know whose arms would take you in
The one who loved you first will hold you
‘til I hold you again

You’ll never know pain
You’ll only know love
You’ll never know tears
in the land of joy above
Where laughter is the only sound
Where laughter is the only sound
on Heaven’s playground

You’re With Me
Words & Music by Becky Nordquist, Steve Siler, & David Baroni

I can’t see you
I don’t feel you
I can’t hear you anymore
Are you listening?
Do you see my tears?
My heart is shattered on the floor
I’ve always believed you’d never leave my side
Is it true?
Can I trust through the darkest night?

You’re with me
You’re for me
You love me and you’ll never let me go

Hope was lost
Dreams were dead
As if my prayers had been ignored
But you heard me
and you lifted me
and now my faith has been reborn
I know that you never left my side
and I cling to this truth deep in my soul tonight

You’re with me
You’re for me
You love me and you’ll never let me go

You go before me
You are behind me
Your love surrounds me
You’re always near
You are above me
You are beside me
Jesus who saves me
I will not fear
’cause you didn’t bring me
here to leave me
Even in silence
You hold me here

Yes, You’re with me
You’re for me
You love me and you’ll never let me go
Yes, You’re with me
You’re for me
You love me and you’ll never let me go

Innocent Child
Words & Music by Steve Siler

Precious one
I know you’ve been sad for so long
Don’t blame yourself
You didn’t do anything wrong
You only wanted attention
Every child needs the same
You are as pure as a flower
In the cleansing rain

It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child

Precious one
I know the nightmares you’ve had
Don’t be ashamed
You didn’t do anything bad
You only wanted approval
Every child needs love
You are a perfect creation
of the Holy One

It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child
It’s not your fault
You are an innocent child

More than a Survivor
Words & Music by Steve Siler

You have lived through something
That no one should have to face
You have shown the kind of courage
That defies the commonplace
Now a future lies before you
So keep holding on to hope
Walking in the light
It’s gonna be alright

You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are a survivor

You are making a beginning
Where there might have been an end
You have been to hell and back
and learned to trust again
They call you a survivor
But somehow you know there’s more
Hang on to that truth
Your sky is turning blue

You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are a survivor

Not just a survivor, but a champion
Not just a survivor, but free
Not just a survivor, but thriving
Ready for tomorrow
and whatever will be

You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are more than a survivor
