Don’t be mad
If I cry
It just hurts so bad, sometimes
‘Cause everyday it’s sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
I’m dreaming of the day when I’m finally there with you
These lyrics go right to my heart. My brother died about 7 months ago and this is exactly what I feel, and think.
Thank You for this song.

Matthew,
My 19 yr old nephew was just killed in an auto accident last week. “Save A Place For Me” has always touched my heart and now its meaning is off the charts. Thank-you for your heartfelt songs. I am sending my brother a copy of the lyrics and info on this website in hopes that along with all that God has done during this last week giving them and their church family the strength to go on and put together a beautiful celebration funeral just two days ago, that it will minister to him. Thanks again and may God continue to bless you as you bless so many others.

A friend just sent me the video of this song. My husband just passed away last November 17th, and this song fit me perfectly. I wrote all my sons about it, and my oldest son, Kent Rogers, wrote back and said that you were just recently in Midland, Texas at Golf Course Road Church of Christ, and that he and you talked about his dad and this song. I didn’t make the connection until Kent told me, but I thank you for the song. It touched my heart.

My girlfriend Melissa Ann Seadon’s grandmother passed away during the Easter Break 2010. Prior to the Passing I Told Mel about Save A Place For Me.
This Week I requested Save A P;ace For Mr on Australian Christian Radio Station Vision Radio Network while I listened to Vision Radio Network VIA their Website http://www.vision.org.au One of their Breakfast Host Andrew Robinson Said ” A Rquest fro Jason From Victoria Save A Palce for Me We Will Play it for You Mate”.
Save A Palce For Me inspires me in such a way as to knowing God has Saved A Place For Me IN Heavev and I will Be There Soon.

I lost my father thursday evening, June 20, 2010. He was a true saint and we rejoice in his passing. I heard your song in the spring and when he passed, I remember your lyrics and I know he will be saving a place for me, He was my best friend but more importantly, he was a great witness of his faith in God. He spent 3 and 1/2 years on dialysis but he never let the inconvience or the pain get the best of him. His passing was unexpected as he said I will see you all at church this Sunday, and he will. We are holding a celebration service this Sunday to celebrate the legacy he left behind. My dad always dressed up on Sundays and in his honor, all the male youths in the church are going to wear ties. My dad was 81 years old but he has touched the lives of many both young and old. Thank you for this song as it has helped me come to terms with my dad’s passing and know he is in God’s arms and one day, we will be together again.

Hey, I couldn’t really find anywhere else to write this so I just choose here.
I know its kinda late to leave an inspirational story but I just wanted to share mine anyway.
When I was like three, I was supposed to be taking a nap so all my family was playing in the backyard, but then I woke up. I crawled out of my crib and I opened the front door and started walking down the street (which was pretty busy). A lady saw me and went to my house and asked if the baby walking down the street was theirs, my dad ran out into the front, only to see a lady stop her car and walk me down to him. I believe that both of those ladies were angels from God and that He sent them because he had a plan for me.
I also have a short song I wrote during the school year, It’s called “Faith in You”

I don’t cry when I get injured. I don’t cry at movies. I didn’t cry when my Granparents died. I just don’t cry. I cried at this video. Thank you. xo

Matt, thank you for such an amazing song. I watched the video and just sat and cried, I lost my 16 year old daughter in a car accident Januar 2008 and one of the anglels in the video is the same one we have at her grave. Seeing all the pictures and hearing the words to this song just make me realize that some day I see will my daughter again.

This song has really touched me with someone I know just dying. Who didn’t even get to graduate high school. He died tonight and I heard the song for the second time tonight but before it never really affected me as much as it has now.

I heard this song for the 1st time yesterday as I left the gravesite of my son Conner Jason. He was born an angel (stillborn) at 37 1/2 weeks on April 26,2009. The song was so touching and came on at just the right time. I may never fully understand why God wanted to keep my child, but I can’t wait to meet him in Heaven. It’s been 21 months since I held my child… feels like yesterday sometimes and other days it feels like a lifetime ago…I miss him everyday…thank you for such a beautiful song…. I hope to hear your other work..

Thank you for this song. I just lost my wife, my best friend and soul mate on December 10, 2011 after being diagnosed six weeks prior with Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma. Tomorrow would have been sixteen years that we were together. I just want her back in my arms, it’s so hard to get up each day knowing that she’s not here. Every time I play this song, I’m asking her to save a place for me.
