Congratulations

Its always sad when you lose somebody you love
Especially when that somebody is somebody that poured into your life
That you learned a lot from, believe us. Christian, we miss 'em but why mourn
Let's go

Though we mourn homie it's a celebration, I pass the casket sayin' congratulations
This is not a funeral it's more like graduation, you passed the gates to a better situation
So roll him out while we wipe our sad eyes, and say goodbye to him for the very last time
You crossed the finish line there is no more condemnation,
You with the father now congratulations

Though we mourn homie it's a celebration,
Smiles in our hearts though there's tears on our faces. Joy in our souls,
Yeah we know he took you home, and we still grieve 'cause we hate to see you gone
I guess it's human nature, we hate to say goodbye
Even though he's in a better situation in the sky
No disease in his body, no more fear in his mind
God wiped away the pain and the tears from his eyes
This is the true sentence, but I would give my right arm
Just to walk in your shoes for two minutes
With my eyes closed shut, I'm picturing you grinnin'
Smiling 'cause you're happy your body is through sinnin'
No more temptations, no more fallin', no more fighting the flesh you ain't brawlin'
You can rest now from the deeds of your calling
And stroll down the streets of gold, my boy's ballin'

Uh, congratulations on your new gown,
The white robe you received and your new crown
I bet youre ruling over much in your new town
I sit and wonder like, I wonder what he do now?
'Cause on the Earth you went hard for the gospel
You stumbled a few times but you didn't let it stop you
You got hit with a few darts, but you didn't let it drop you
You faced a few disappointments, but you didn't let it rock you
Now God's got you, so I don't even gotta worry
My eyes blurry from tears, I'm still feelin' merry
'Cause it's apparent while I'm walking through this cemetery
An empty shell is the object that we finna bury
My dude is chillin' at the table with David and Abel and folks we only heard about in fables
This is why we label, we all look forward to being absent in the body
And being present in the savior

I know it's hard when you come to the spot where the box holds the body of your son,
Your husband or your wife, friend, father, or your mom
You kiss 'em on the head and their body don't be spun
I understand because I've been through that hurt too,
But leaning on the text makes it better to work through
You're looking at a body staring up at the church roof,
But then it dawns on you, this is only an Earth suit

So one love to the people that we've lost
Born again believers who were leanin' on the cross
We hate to see you leave us so we keep you in our thoughts
It's best you be with Jesus who redeemed you from your faults
So I don't worry 'bout you I will see you in heaven
They keep me steady while they tell me what I'm seeking is petty
We'll meet again in the sky, once these people are ready
Until then Imma rejoice and release the confetti
