Special Christmas Performance For Those Who Have Lost A Loved One
December 20, 2017
The Piano Guys never fail to wow us with their incredible performances of classic songs. And their Christmas performances have to be some of our favorites. But this Christmas is particularly tough for Piano Guys’ Jon Schmidt.
Last year Jon’s daughter Annie disappeared while out hiking and was tragically never found. While they wanted to hold out hope they eventually realized that she had gone home to be with the Lord. So this year with Christmas rolling around Jon and his family are struggling to find the joy and truly celebrate as their family is missing one at the table.

I'm not gonna lie
Christmas really hurts this time
Cause you're not here to celebrate with me
Tears fill my eyes
The memories flood my mind
As I place your ornament upon our tree
Although this year I have a broken heart
It gives me hope and joy as I remember where you are
You're with the Son of God
You're with the Prince of Peace
You're with the one who's celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we're apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
You're with the Son of God
Grab your tissues before hitting play on this one. You do not want to miss this incredible performance!
