From a church in rural Kentucky to an annual concert audience of 800,000, the Crabb Family has managed to break through musical genre barriers to reach people from all walks of life with the message of the gospel. From the beginning of their musical ministry nearly 10 years ago, they had no way of knowing just what was in store.
Although their roots are primarily Southern Gospel, the Crabb Family’s recording, Blur The Lines features a variety of styles and genres. The Crabb Family also reached a vast concert audience. Their schedule lead them from the Grand Ole’ Opry to a Contemporary Christian Festival in South Dakota and everything in between the two venues.
In August 2006, the siblings: Jason, Kelly, Adam, Aaron and Terah, decided it was time to move to a new season in their lives -- to keep with tradition and continue to pursue their separate ministries. Their last tour date as a group was August 1, 2007
SO MUCH FANTASTIC TALENT IN ONE GROUP, UNBELIEVABLE--RICHARD DIXON
I Sure Miss You
The Crabb Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when
To hear your voice was just a call away
Oh what I'd give for just some time, to say the things that slipped my mind
There's so much now I'd really like to say
But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then
I'll store those precious memories in my mind
I'll take what you've instilled in me; I'll try to be all I can be
Chorus
I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here
Each passing day has brought much pain
But with God's grace my strength remains
I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there
Verse II
The little things that seemed so small are now gold in a memory vault
I cherish every one I have of you
Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life
I often see you in the things I do
In God's design and master plan He saw the hurting hearts of man
As we would say goodbye to those so dear
So with our family and friends we'll be together once again
We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand
The Crabb Family’s song I Sure Miss You is a poignant tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The song starts off with the singer reminiscing and wishing they could turn back time to the days when their loved one was still alive. They express their regret at not saying everything they wanted to say to them when they were still around. Despite the fact that they can never go back in time, they decide to hold on to precious memories of their loved one, take the lessons they were taught, and strive to be the best version of themselves that they can be.
The chorus of the song emphasizes just how much the singer misses their loved one and how difficult life has become for them without them around. However, they still manage to find the strength to carry on thanks to the grace of God. The second verse of the song focuses on how the little things that their loved one used to do have now become precious memories that are cherished by the singer. They realize just how much this person impacted their life and are grateful for the role they played in shaping who they are today. Finally, the song ends on a hopeful note as the singer turns to the idea of an afterlife where they will be reunited with their loved one once again.

If life could only bring again, the days I took for granted when
If I could go back in time to the days when I didn't fully appreciate everything you did for me
To hear your voice was just a call away
I used to be able to talk to you so easily and now I can't
Oh what I'd give for just some time, to say the things that slipped my mind
I wish I had the chance to tell you all the things I forgot to say
There's so much now I'd really like to say
There are many things I wish I could say to you now
But I can never go back when we did the things we did back then
I can't change the past and have to live with the regret of what I didn't do or say
I'll store those precious memories in my mind
I'll keep the memories of you close to me and cherish them forever
I'll take what you've instilled in me; I'll try to be all I can be
I'll remember the lessons you taught me and strive to live up to your example
And walk the path that you have left behind
I'll follow the path you paved for me and try to make you proud
I sure miss you; life will never be the same with you not here
I feel a deep sense of loss without you and life will never be as it was before
Each passing day has brought much pain
I am still grieving and each day without you is difficult
But with God's grace my strength remains
I find strength in my faith and belief that you are in a better place
I sure miss you, but heaven's sweeter with you there
Although I miss you, I find comfort in the belief that you are in a better place and at peace
The little things that seemed so small are now gold in a memory vault
The small things you did for me now mean so much and are held dear in my memories
I cherish every one I have of you
Every memory of you is precious to me and brings me comfort
Now I can see and recognize the part you played to shape my life
I understand the impact you had on my life and am grateful for your influence
I often see you in the things I do
Your memory lives on in my actions and the person I am today
In God's design and master plan He saw the hurting hearts of man
God understood the pain of losing loved ones and created a plan to provide comfort
As we would say goodbye to those so dear
As we face the loss of those we love
So with our family and friends we'll be together once again
We will be reunited with our loved ones in heaven
We'll view all heaven's splendor hand in hand
We'll experience the beauty and wonder of heaven together

@@naomiparchment1285 Heavenly Father: tonight I ask that you wrap your loving arms around your daughter Naomi Parchment, Lord give her the comfort give her the peace in her heart a piece which comes from having a personal relationship with you! Father, calm Naomi's heart remind her that all things work together for good, though we don't understand it, though there's a huge hole in Naomi's heart, you are the comforter!
Lord I pray that you would use the death of Nicky to reach the lost, may souls come to know you, may families bond be tightened. Lord, may we stop and take the time to tell those that we love just how much they do mean to us. None of us are promised tomorrow and in your word it says our lives are but a vapor. May each of us to our part to reach a lost and dying world.
Father, you're not done using Naomi, you're a god of love and you're a God of mercy and Lord I just pray that you would reach down from heaven and give Naomi the grace that she needs for this trial. Lord I can't begin to think how hurt she must feel right now, yet God you are still on the throne still in control!
Lord help Naomi. To be able to rest, help her to get a peaceful restful sleep each night. And God would you keep Naomi's light shining bright for others who may go through the same exact trial that she is now enduring. Use her to show other women how to handle such a trial like this. And in the days weeks months and years that follow, during those days when Naomi wants to stop and cry, Lord your words says that you see the sparrow when it falls from the sky, that you see each tear that we've cried and that you keep them in a bottle, that you could see a wee little man named zacchaeus who was out in a crowded Street Lord may Naomi know in her heart that your word says I will never leave the nor forsake thee! You are with her through every step of this. We ask this in your name, amen.
Naomi- I'm up tonight unable to sleep, it's almost 9:00 in the evening and I have to go to work at 4:00 a.m. so I should be in bed but when I saw your message tonight on Facebook I simply couldn't go to sleep. Well I can't get down on my knees anymore because I'm pending a knee replacement on my right knee, I stopped and bowed my head and prayed for you. God loves you! God is the god of the good days but he's also the god of the bad days. I'm here and available if you ever need to reach out and talk to someone, do not feel that you are all alone because you're not! You are part of the body of Christ and you have many sisters and brothers strangers like me that you've never even met. Just know that you have people that are praying for you all around the world right now. Stay strong sister keep your chin up!
A little bit about myself, I was raised in a very Godly loving Christian home with the mother and father that served the Lord up until the day they died. I met my life in church, she didn't have the same background that I had her family trusted in Christ late in their lives.
My wife and I were married for 27 years, we lost several children along the way. You want to talk about shattered dreams, broken hearts, sadness, I know what it's like to go to bed with a pillow that is soaking wet with tears and my heart goes out to you. Such an unimaginable loss!
I hope that you know you can reach out to me if you are depressed and need somebody to talk to, I'm a good listener! I'm praying for you sister!
Sincerely,
Steve Romkee
Modesto, Ca.

My mom was my biggest supporter even through my many faults and stumbles that saw me incarcerated on two occasions. I served a total of 5 years and thru it all she faithfully visited each Sunday. I realize now my incarceration imprisoned her as well. She was unable to live her life bc of her concern for me.
After the second and last imprisonment I enrolled in the local university to finally complete my degree in Political science I had started many years earlier. After second semester I was so sick I could barely move. I refused to listen to my body I enrolled in summer school. 3 weeks in I was literally dying. My professor saw what was happening and advised me to take rest of session off bc I had an A avg and she would give me an A .
Long story short I was hospitalized at 3 hospitals bc Duke could diagnose me with lupus. Underwent intense chemotherapy and high prednisone medication that saved my kidneys and me. Mom was there by my side. I was able to complete my degree and graduated with my mom cheering as I received my diploma.
I remember her asking me to come inside and sit and talk and sometimes I found something more compelling. Not more important mind u but something pressing. I'm sorry mom u deserved what u gave. U gave me your life and me.......well I'm to ashamed to say

Remember, everyone doesn't make it to Heaven. If you want to go to Heaven after you leave this life. You must accept Yeshua/ Jesus as your personal Savior. You must ask for forgiveness of your sins.

This song helped me through the toughest time of my life. My precious daughter had gone home to be with Jesus. I know she is not gone for good, she is just living in a country that I can't visit right now. Someday God will stamp my passport and let go there to. Thank You Jesus.
@misshazel271
Bless your heart. I haven't lost a child but both of my parents. I sure miss them.
@lindaeubanks5586
God bless you I know exactly what you mean I'll be glad when my passport has been stamped I've had enough of this wicked world God bless you I will keep you in my prayers
