Your Song Goes On

You walked soft through this world, like the breeze on a springtime morn

Had a way of lovin' people like you'd known them all along

Every puppy knew your footsteps, every old soul knew your smile

You'd sit and listen to their stories, stay and talk a little while

Your mum saw how you carried light even when the nights were long

Your sister leaned on steady hands when life felt all but gone

Your best friends swore the strength you had could lift the weight of storms

You held their hearts so gently, they found the will to carry on

And you dreamed of writing songs one day, so the hurting hearts could heal

And Liv, I hope you know, that's exactly how you made folks feel

Now heaven holds you softly in the arms of Jesus, love

Where the chapter you were closin' turned to glory up above

And though your story here was shorter than anyone would have planned

Your song goes on in every life you carried in your hands

You never feared the fading light, somehow you always understood

That the soul God shapes with kindness finds its way back home for good

Pastor John said you left this world peaceful as a breath of dawn

Like you felt the one who made you hold your hand to guide you home

And the melodies you never wrote are rising like a prayer

Liv, your chorus didn't end, it's just being sung up there

Now heaven holds you softly in the arms of Jesus, love

Where the chapter you were closin' turned to glory up above

And though your story here was shorter than anyone would have planned

Your song goes on in every life you carried in your hands

So here's to all the gentle hearts you lifted on your way

To every lonely elder you made me smile that rainy day

To every frightened stray you touched, every sister's trembling fear

You showed them God was with them simply by being here

Now heaven holds you softly in the arms of Jesus, grace

And the first thing that you heard was your name sung in that holy place

And though we ache for you beside us, we trust in what you knew was true

Your song goes on in every breath

And someday we'll hear the rest
