G D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Though for now we walk down roads of sorrow
G Em D
Underneath this heavy weight of grief
G C G
Soon there'll be a bright and glorious morning
G D G
Where we'll find our joy at last complete
[Chorus]
G C G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G D C G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G C G D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
C D G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears
[Verse 2]
G C G
Though for now we feel the ache of parting
G Em D
Burdened with the pain of sad goodbyes
G C G
Yet we cling to that great hope He's promised
G D G
Of a glad reunion in the sky
[Chorus]
G C G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G D C G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G C G D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
C D G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears
[Verse 3]
G C G
If you listen close you'll almost hear it
G Em D
Oh the melody that's rising sweet
G C G
Of the faithful saints gone on before us
G D G
Gathered safely round our Savior's feet
[Chorus]
G C G
Where the streets of gold welcome weary souls
G D C G
All the grateful drink from the crystal stream
G C G D Em
Peace forevermore, troubles disappear
C D G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears
[Outro]
G C
Every heart made whole
G D C
Every eye is clear
G D (pause) G
And the only thing that's missing there is tears
