Ricky Skaggs - Safe Haven lyrics

[Verse 1] My papa was a big 'ol man He held the world and me in the palm of his hand He held us altogether The family corner stone His voice was deep just like his fate He'd always call me, "sugar babe" And what I wouldn't give to hear "I love you" one more time He loved to read John 3:16 Tapped along to hymns we'd sing He left us so much more than earthly things [Chorus] Sometimes when there's no answer Or no reason for the pain And I just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven So even when my faith on earth is shaken You're my safe haven [Verse 2] He said my home's not here, no I'm not bound My home is built on higher ground And where I'm going, oh goodbye don't mean a thing There's gonna be some things I miss But don't forget God promises we'll be together on the other side [Chorus] Sometimes when there's no answer Or no reason for the pain And I just can't wrap my head around the wire of things that come my way I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven So even when my faith on earth is shaken You're my safe haven [Bridge] Ooh, ooh, oh It's comfort for my heart that breaks To know you're in a better place And that I'll see your loving face again I still believe you hold a place for us in heaven So even when my faith on earth is shaken You're my safe haven You're my safe haven [Outro] My papa was a big 'ol man He held the world and me in the palm of his hand
