[Verse 1]
A
There are moments in this life
E
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
D
And all the loved ones that are gone
Dm
Friends and close relationships
A
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
Asus2 E
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes this tired old world
E
Starts bringing my heart down
A#add6
But you gotta bear the cross
D
If you wanna wear the crown
Dm
I often get impatient
A
As Father Time keeps dragging on
F#dim F
I've waded through the darkness
Dm A E
Now I'm ready for the dawn
C#m A E
I'm ready for the dawn
[Chorus 1]
D A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Where the faithful carry on
Bm A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Oh Lord
E D A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
Bm A
In heaven
E F#m
Oh Lord
E D Dm A
I want to see heaven
[Verse 3]
A
As I read the morning paper
E
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
D
Of a world that's dead in sin
Dm
And the only sane conclusion
A
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Asus2 E
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
A
So I'm living every moment
E
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
D
And forget about the past
Dm
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
A
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
Dm A E
I'll be following my heart
C#m A E
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]
D A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Where the faithful carry on
Bm A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Oh Lord
E D A
I want to see heaven
E F#m
Where the pain of sin is gone
Bm A
In heaven
E F#m
Oh Lord
E D Dm A
I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
Bm
I've tried to go the distance
C#m7
But it's more than I can bear
D
They say there's no more crying
C#m
And no more dying there
D
I've held on to the promise
C#
Who so ever will believe
F#m
Will have life that's never ending
Ddim7
I believe
A B C
I believe
[Chorus 3]

I want to see heaven

Oh Lord

Where the pain of sin is gone

In heaven

Oh Lord
G F F C
I want to see he--------aven
