3Circle Music - Empty Chair (feat. Ben Kimsal)

The lights on the tree aren't as bright as could be
And the bells aren't quite chiming as clear
This pale fireside isn't warm and alive
Like it was when you were here
With the holidays surely upon us
Traditions begin to unfold
They'll be pushing us forward and taking us back
With each story of you that is told

But it somehow feels wrong
To pick up and move on

So we'll set you a place at the table
Reminisce of the lifetime we shared
Telling stories and tales of the days that stood still
The memories past, the days gone too fast
We'll remember your smile at the table
How your joy would touch everyone there
We'll share laughter and cheers, try to hold back the tears
Looking over at your empty chair
At the table

The tunes that we sing, have a different ring
When your voice isn't singing along
But I know of a place, where together again
We'll proclaim a joyful song
Because even in all of our mourning
Our hope can fully be found
In the baby who came, gave Himself to be slain
So that death could not hold us down

So as we await
That glorious Day

We will choose to have joy at the table
For we know that this isn't the end
He is setting a place, at His table of grace
Where we'll all be together again
You'll be waiting for us at His table
And He'll cast away all of our cares
We will lift up His praise, with the angels and saints
And they'll never be an empty chair
At His table
