[Verse 1]
A#
There are moments in this life
F
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
D#
And all the loved ones that are gone
D#m
Friends and close relationships
A#
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
A#sus2 F
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]
A#
Sometimes this tired old world
F
Starts bringing my heart down
A#add6
But you gotta bear the cross
D#
If you wanna wear the crown
D#m
I often get impatient
A#
As Father Time keeps dragging on
F#dim F
I've waded through the darkness
D#m A# F
Now I'm ready for the dawn
Dm A# F
I'm ready for the dawn
[Chorus 1]
D# A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Where the faithful carry on
Cm A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Oh Lord
F D# A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Where the pain of sin is gone
Cm A#
In heaven
F Gm
Oh Lord
F D# D#m A#
I want to see heaven
[Verse 3]
A#
As I read the morning paper
F
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
D#
Of a world that's dead in sin
D#m
And the only sane conclusion
A#
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
A#sus2 F
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
A#
So I'm living every moment
F
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
D#
And forget about the past
D#m
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
A#
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
D#m A# F
I'll be following my heart
Dm A# F
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]
D# A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Where the faithful carry on
Cm A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Oh Lord
F D# A#
I want to see heaven
F Gm
Where the pain of sin is gone
Cm A#
In heaven
F Gm
Oh Lord
F D# D#m A#
I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
Cm
I've tried to go the distance
Dm7
But it's more than I can bear
D#
They say there's no more crying
Dm
And no more dying there
D#
I've held on to the promise
D
Who so ever will believe
Gm
Will have life that's never ending
Ddim7
I believe
A# C C#
I believe
[Chorus 3]
F# C#
I want to see heaven
G# A#m
Where the faithful carry on
D#m C#
I want to see heaven
G# A#m
Oh Lord
G# F# C#
I want to see heaven
G# A#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
D#m C#
In heaven
G# A#m
Oh Lord
G# F# F# C#
I want to see he--------aven
