Your Love Beside Me (Gospel Soul)

Verse 1

You kept the blue cup by the kitchen sink,

The one with the hairline crack along the side.

You said the little things were worth their place,

And made a home where no one had to hide.

Pre-Chorus

Now every road I took comes back to you,

A quiet kindness shining through.

Chorus

At the pearly gates, if I should find you there,

I’ll know you by the way you say my name.

No crown, no grand arrival, nothing rare—

Just your open arms, unchanged.

And if heaven has a doorway made of light,

I’ll walk through with your love beside me.

Verse 2

You left your old coat folded on the chair,

And notes in books with grocery lists between.

I hear your laugh whenever rain comes down,

And see your patient hands in what you’ve seen.

Pre-Chorus

The miles can’t take the good you gave away;

It finds me in the smallest things each day.

Chorus

At the pearly gates, if I should find you there,

I’ll know you by the way you say my name.

No crown, no grand arrival, nothing rare—

Just your open arms, unchanged.

And if heaven has a doorway made of light,

I’ll walk through with your love beside me.

Bridge

Till then, I’ll set another place,

Keep your stories close and warm.

Every gentle thing you taught me

Is a shelter from the storm.

Final Chorus

At the pearly gates, when I can find you there,

I’ll know you by the way you say my name.

No fear, no grand arrival, nothing rare—

Just your open arms, unchanged.

And if heaven has a doorway made of light,

I’ll walk through with your love beside me.

Outro

Your love beside me.

Your love beside me.
