That Little Crowded Room

VERSE

HE WAS LAYING IN THAT BED

WHEN I LET MYSELF IN

HE SAID TELL YOUR GRANDMA HI BOY WITH A BIG OL GRIN

HE SAID THAT'S MY COUSIN JOE

AND MASTER SERGEANT MIKE

I KIND OF PLAYED ALONG THOUGH THERE WAS NO SOUL IN SIGHT

THEN HE SAID LISTEN TO THE CHOIR

DON'T YOU LOVE THIS SONG

THAT'S WHEN IT HIT ME HARD

HE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE LONG

CHORUS

IT WAS ONLY ME AND HIM

AS FAR AS I COULD SEE

WAITING ON THE END

AND ETERNITY

IT WAS WRITTEN ON HIS FACE

THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN HIS FAITH

THAT EVEN JESUS WOULD BE COMING SOON

TO THAT LITTLE CROWDED ROOM

VERSE

I THOUGHT THROUGH THE YEARS

AND HOW THEY WENT SO FAST

ALL THE FOOTBALLS AND THE BASEBALLS AND ALL THE FISH WE USED TO CATCH

HE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG

WHEN HE SAW ME HANG MY HEAD

THEN HE SAID YA'LL PLEASE MAKE SOME ROOM HERE FOR MY GRANDSON ON THIS BED

HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER

SAID THIS OL’ WORLD AIN'T ALL THERE IS

THEN HE NODDED TOWARD THE CORNER

SAID GO ON TELL HIM SIS

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

ONE BY ONE FOLKS STARTED SHOWING UP FROM THIS SIDE

FROM WALL TO WALL WE LAUGHED AND CRIED AND SAID OUR GOODBYES

1/2 CHORUS

IT WAS WRITTEN ON HIS FACE

THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN HIS FAITH

AND WE KNEW EVEN JESUS WAS THERE TOO

IN THAT LITTLE CROWDED ROOM
