[Verse 1]
D
There are moments in this life
A
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
G
And all the loved ones that are gone
Gm
Friends and close relationships
D
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
Dsus2 A
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]

Sometimes this tired old world

Starts bringing my heart down

But you gotta bear the cross

If you wanna wear the crown

I often get impatient

As Father Time keeps dragging on

I've waded through the darkness

Now I'm ready for the dawn

[Verse 3]
D
As I read the morning paper
A
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
G
Of a world that's dead in sin
Gm
And the only sane conclusion
D
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Dsus2 A
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
D
So I'm living every moment
A
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
G
And forget about the past
Gm
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
D
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
Gm D A
I'll be following my heart
F#m D A
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]

I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
Em
I've tried to go the distance
F#m7
But it's more than I can bear

They say there's no more crying
F#m
And no more dying there

I've held on to the promise

Who so ever will believe

Will have life that's never ending

I believe
D E F
I believe
