Capo: 4th fret/key: f#/play: d

[d] in life's many battles that [g] you will have to [d] fight

Just stay close to jesus and [e7] journey in his [a7] light

Then [d] on that judgement morning [g] when all pain has [d] fled

You'll stand in god's kingdom, when the [a7] book of life is [d] read.



[g] when the seals are broken and [d] names are read aloud

You'll see many loved ones [e7] standin' in the [a7] crowd

So [d] brother keep on prayin' and [g] follow where you're [d] lead

You'll stand in god's kingdom, when the [a7] book of life is [d] read.



All your dreams of heaven will come true on that day

When the sky shall open and this earth melt away

Then all god's faithful children will raise up from the dead

United in god's kingdom, when the book of life is read.



What a happy feelin' to know he'll always care

And when our work is over heaven with him we'll share

There's be no pain or sorrow, no tears will e'er be shed

When we stand there in god's kingdom and the book of life is read.
