Smiling Down

Pillar (copyright 2008)

You make it so hard on yourself
But there’s nobody else
That could ever understand
The feelings that you felt
I could hear you think about
All the time I was around
If you could only see me now
I’m right here looking down

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don’t feel like trying
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don’t feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you

I know you won’t forget
All the time we got to spend
Just because it’s been a while
Doesn’t mean that it’s the end
So right here and now
I’ll swear you a vow
That I will always be with you
Whenever you feel down
Nothing ever will come between us
Now I’m holding on to the hand of Jesus

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don’t feel like trying
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don’t feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you

I’ll be right there looking down
Even when the sun don’t shine
I’ll be right there looking down
On a long the winter night
I’ll be right there looking down
With a smile on my face
I’ll be right there with my arms open wide
Right here on Jesus’ side

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don’t feel like trying
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don’t feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I’ll be right there
Smiling down on you
