About the song

Listen

This song took me 6 years to write. It's written about a loved one who passed away. We were very close and it still devastates me when I think about him. May his soul rest in peace.

Lyrics

The 11th Hour Prayer

Verse
There was a boy
So alone he felt
Swept away from the pain, that haunted him that night
How long did you know
It was your time to go?
I wish I could save you and bring you back home

Chorus
Although you're gone
My love will never leave you
Although you're gone

Verse
Can this be real?
Tell me it's not true
You've gone away
It tore my heart in two
Your memories remain and this pulls me through
All I have is the love I have for you

Chorus
Although you're gone
My love will never leave you
Although you're gone

Bridge
Find your rest in the Lord
​Seek your peace in His sweet light
Don't be afraid anymore, no
It hurts so deep inside
Like a part of me has died
I will always love you, 
Although you're gone
Ooo, Although you're gone, gone, gone

Tag
Promise me
When the moon is bright
You'll smile down on me
Help me through the night, oh yeah
Touch my heart, touch my soul, please fill the voice, just take control
Show me
You're there, there
Although you're gone
My love has never left you
Oh, Although you're gone
