CAPO: 4th Fret/KEY: F#/PLAY: D
|
[D] In Life's many battles that [G] you will have to [D] fight
|
Just stay close to Jesus and [E7] journey in His [A7] light
|
Then [D] on that judgement morning [G] when all pain has [D] fled
|
You'll stand in God's Kingdom, When The [A7] Book Of Life Is [D] Read.
|
|
[G] When the seals are broken and [D] names are read aloud
|
You'll see many loved ones [E7] standin' in the [A7] crowd
|
So [D] brother keep on prayin' and [G] follow where you're [D] led
|
You'll stand in God's Kingdom, When The [A7] Book Of Life Is [D] Read.
|
|
All your dreams of heaven will come true on that day
|
When the sky shall open and this earth melt away
|
Then all God's faithful children will raise up from the dead
|
United in God's Kingdom, When The Book Of Life Is Read.
|
|
What a happy feelin' to know He'll always care
|
And when our work is over heaven with Him we'll share
|
There's be no pain or sorrow, no tears will e'er be shed
|
When we stand there in God's Kingdom and The Book Of Life Is Read.
