[Verse 1]
F
There are moments in this life

When it's hard to carry on

Friends and close relationships

Somewhere on the other side

[Verse 3]
F
As I read the morning paper
C
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
A#
Of a world that's dead in sin
A#m
And the only sane conclusion
F
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Fsus2 C
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
F
So I'm living every moment
C
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
A#
And forget about the past
A#m
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
F
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion

I'll be following my heart

I've tried to go the distance

But it's more than I can bear

And no more dying there

Who so ever will believe
