Capo 3
Tone [C]
I [F]know you’re safe, I know you’re home, But [C]there’s an ache within my soul
[Dm]All I want to [Am]do is hold you [G]close
Your [F]precious face is all I see Each [C]breath I take I’m gripped with grief
A [Dm]mother shouldn’t [Am]have to let her [G]baby go
[Dm]When I wonder what you’re doing [G]now, it [Dm]brings me just a little peace [G]somehow
[C]Are you running up and down the golden [G]streets,
Or [Am]riding on a lion’s back through of [G]green?
[F]Do you wear a [Am]sparkly [G]princess crown
at [F]tea parties with [Am]Jesus [G]on a cloud ?
[C]Are you soaring through the sky on eagles [G]wings,
Or [Am]playing angels in a game of hide & [G]seek?
[F]Though you’re [Am]snuggled in the [G]Father’s lap,
[F]I would still give [Am]anything to [G]have you back
Oh, I [Dm]know He’ll bring me [C]home to [F]you some [C]day
But [Dm]Heaven is [F]too far a [C]way
I’ve [F]yelled at God, I’ve said my words, I’ve [C]cried until my eyes have burned
It’s [Dm]agony to [Am]make it through [G]each day
Yet [F]in the depths of my despair, I [C]feel His presence meet me here
I’m [Dm]carried by a [Am]peace I can’t [G]explain, knowing
[C]You are chasing butterflies in summer’s [G]breeze
[C]And swimming with the dolphins in the crystal [G]seas
[F]Bedtime stories [Am]happen [G]on the moon
as [F]Jesus sings a [Am]lullaby [G]for you
You [C]stay up late to watch your dreams play out a [G]gain
As [C]galaxies shine brilliantly above your [G]head
[F]This is the most [Am]fun you’ve [G]ever had,
but [F]I would still give [Am]anything to [G]hear you laugh
Oh, I [Dm]know He’ll bring me [C]home to [F]you some [C]day
But [Dm]Heaven is [F]too far [C]away
[Dm]Hallelujah! [C]He is good, My [Am]heart will [G]choose to [F]say:
[Dm]Hallelujah! [C]He is good [Am]Blessed be His [G]Name
[C]Though I’ll never understand the reason [G]why
A [C]good and loving God would make us [G]say goodbye
[F]Every single [Am]joy we’re mis [G]sing here,
[F]we will have e [Am]ternity to [G]share!
[D]Someday I’ll come bursting through those gates of [A]pearls
And [D]wrap you in my arms forever, my Sweet [A]Girl
[G]In the land [Bm]where there is [A]no more pain,
we’ll [G]praise the God who [Bm]gives and takes [A]away
Oh, I [Em]know He’ll bring me [D]home to [G]you some[D]day
But [Em]Heaven is [A]too far [D]away
