The darkness came like a thief
Knocked you off of your feet
You were there in the middle of disaster
You were brave just like I'm trying hard to be
Sleep well, sweet soul
If I'm honest, I don't want to let you go
Sleep well, sweet soul
Nothing's broken anymore
You've been made whole
You were light in the dark
A sunlit day in the park
Part of you will always be here with me
And I'll carry you forever in my heart
Sleep well, sweet soul
If I'm honest, I don't want to let you go
Sleep well, sweet soul
Nothing's broken anymore
You've been made whole
I know you're there with Jesus safe and sound
But I miss you so much I can barely breathe
And I can't help thinking when I turn around
You will be here and this was all a dream
Sleep well, sweet soul
If I'm honest, I don't want to let you go
Sleep well, sweet soul
Nothing's broken anymore
You've been made whole
Nothing's broken anymore
You've been made whole
