I never got to see your face Or had a chance to choose your name I never got to kiss your cheeks Or watch what you'd grow up to be I never got to hear your cry Or soothe you with a lullaby Before I got to say hello I had to let you go Hallelujah to the One who gives Hallelujah to the One who takes away Hallelujah I am sure of this I'll hold you in Heaven someday What a sweet day that will be To meet you on the golden streets I'll run to you with open arms And tell you just how loved you are Then you can take us by the hand And lead us through the Promised Land There we'll bow before the Throne And praise the God from whom all blessings flow Blessed be the Name of the Lord In every season He is good Blessed be the Name of the Lord In every season He is good Hallelujah to the One who gives Hallelujah to the One who takes away Hallelujah I am sure of this I'll hold you in Heaven someday Can't wait to hold you in Heaven someday
