Heaven Is The Hope

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE: (This verse sung ACAPELA )
        F#
We are surrounded,
      B                    F#
By a world that's not our home.
         C#
We are grounded,
          B                C#
Until it comes our time to go.

                  Ebm
And our souls are aching
        B                  F#
With a void that won't be filled.
         C#
'Till we see our mansion,
 B              F#
High up on the hill.


VERSE:
                      F#
All the tear-stained pages,
                B             F#
That fill the stories of our lives,
        C#
Will be erased when,
           B             C#
Love lifts up our tired eyes.

           Ebm
And we see Jesus
         B                  F#
For the first time face to face
         C#
All the pain will fall
   B             F#
A million miles away.


CHORUS:
                     Ebm
'Cause Heaven is the Hope that we 
hold on to.
                B
Heaven is the Promise for me and for
 you
                   F#
That all we really are is passing 
through
             C#
To something better.

            Ebm
Weeping may last all through the 
night,
                  B
But Joy is gonna come with the 
Morning Light.
                   F#
And Heaven is the place where you 
and I
                 C#
Are gonna live forever.

                  F#
Ah, Heaven is the hope
               B
Heaven is the hope
              Ebm       C#     F# 
Heaven is the hope, we hold on to.

VERSE:
              F#
Oh, I'm so excited
             B               F#
And now my heart can hardly wait.
                C#
To see all the loved ones,
         B             C#
We have lost along the way.

          Ebm
And every sickness,
            B                  F#
It will be healed once and for all.
           C#             B
And every burden we have bare,
              F#
Will finally fall.


CHORUS:
                     Ebm
'Cause Heaven is the Hope that we 
hold on to.

And Heaven is the Promise for me and

So we'll keep waiting,
        B              F#
Just a few more weary days.
           C#
We'll keep watching,
            F#            C#
For those clouds to roll away.
               Ebm
And we'll keep walking,
