The Only Thing I Can Take To Heaven

Why do you always bring a prayer?
Why do you care what I watch or wear?
Why can't you just let me live my way?
You say you trust God but won't give me space
You tell me no and my friends say yes
Why does my life put you under this stress?

I don't get why you fight so hard
I'm just tryna find who I am in my heart

'Cause you're the only thing I can take to heaven
Not the house, not the job, not the money I'm given
When I stand before God at the end of my days
I wanna say I showed you the way
It's not control, it's love that's been driven
'Cause child, you're the only thing I can take to heaven

You talk like this world is fading fast
Like what I want now just won't last
But I've got dreams, I've got things to do
And I'm not sure I believe like you
Still I see the fire in your eyes
Like you're fighting for more than just my life

We've seen what this world can steal
We're holding on 'cause heaven is real

You're the only thing I can take to heaven
Not the clothes, not the car, not the life I've been given
So we'll pray, we'll cry, we'll stand in the fight
Until you know what's wrong and right
It's not about rules, it's about redemption
'Cause you're the only, only thing I can take to heaven

I might not see it now
But I hear your voice somehow
Through the noise, through the doubt
You're loving me, calling me out

You're the only thing I can take to heaven
So I hold your name in every prayer that's given
When this life ends, I won't need my pride
I just want you standing by my side
'Cause child, your soul is worth every lesson
You're the only thing I can take to heaven

Maybe I don't get it all today
But I see the love in the words you say
