Death Is Just a Door

The story
When Invictus came out, a friend told me he'd played the whole album six times in a row while painting a room. It was this song that undid him, because it says what we all hope and pray for: that the people we've lost are only a step away.

Lyrics
Verse
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too
I trace the lines upon your face, like I did long ago
And reach for you through memory, where time won’t let you go
Chorus
But God has you in His keeping, and I have you in my heart
And the ache of all this missing nearly tears my soul apart
I hold onto the promise that this is not the end
That death is just a door, my love, and we will meet again
Verse
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
The echoes in these empty rooms don't ever sound the same
Your laughter lingers in the walls, your footsteps in the hall
And sometimes late at night I swear I hear you call
Chorus
But God has you in His keeping, and I have you in my heart
And the ache of all this missing nearly tears my soul apart
I hold onto the promise that this is not the end
That death is just a door, my love, and we will meet again
Verse
All I have are memories and your pictures in a frame
But every tear and every smile still whispers out your name
Bridge
And I know this isn't goodbye, just a road I cannot see
Where your hand has slipped from mine, but your soul still walks with me
And someday when the sky opens and calls me from this place
I'll run into forever and find your warm embrace
Chorus
And God has you in His keeping, and I have you in my heart
And the love that carried us through life is stronger than the dark
I hold onto the promise, and I'll hold it till the end
That death is just a door, my love — and we will meet again
