I Long For The Day Chords by Dennis Jernigan

[C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[F#] that's expressed to the Father,
_ [C#] our hearts, and how [F#] we long for Him.
_ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] Let's sing.
[C#] _ I [G#] long for the day
when [F#] my Lord
[C#] comes to take me [G#] away,
[F#] whether by death
or if You come for me
on [C#] a horse of white.
And [G#] anyway [F#] You come
we'll [D#m] be [C#] alright with me.
I long to just hear You [G#] say,
now is the [F#] _ time.
[C#] Child, won't You come [Fm] away?
[F#] Then I'll take Your hand,
_ surrendering completely
[C#] to You that day.
[G#] And though I [F#] can't contain
[G#] the joy [C#] that day will bring,
when I [G#] get to see You
face [F#] to face,
when I can [C#] finally put sight
[Fm] to the voice [F#] I've embraced,
it will be worth [C#] all the waiting. _
_ [F#] For that one moment
[G#] I'm celebrating [C#] You,
when I get to [G#] feel
Your hand [A#m] in mine,
[F#] when I can [C#] finally be free
[Fm] from this prison [F#] called time,
when You say,
Child, [C#] I've been waiting _
[F#] _ for this one [G#] moment
I'm _ celebrating [A#m] _ _ _ _ [D#] You.
_ [C#] _
[F#] _ For this one moment
[G#] I'm _ celebrating [C#] You.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ Oh Lord, [G#] while I wait, _
[F#] I will cling
to [C#] each word that You [F#] say,
so sneak to my heart.
Your voice is life to me,
[C#] be it night or day,
[G#] and anything [F#] You say
will be alright [C#] with me.
You see, my [G#] heart's greatest need, _
You and [F#] me,
_ [C#] walking eternally
[F#] on my own and all.
And I am waiting patiently
[C#] for Your call,
when [G#] You [F#] call me
to Your [G#] side [C#] eternally.
When I get [G#] to see You,
face to [F#] face,
when I can finally [C#] put sight
[G#] to the voice I've [F#] embraced,
it will be [C#] worth all the waiting.
[F#] _ For that one moment
I'm [G#] _ celebrating [C#] You,
when I [G#] get to feel
Your hand [D#m] in mine,
[F#] when I can finally [C#] be free
from this prison [F#] called mine,
when You say,
Child, [C#] I've been waiting _ _
[F#] for this one moment
[G#] I'm celebrating [A#m] You.
_ _ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] For this one moment
[G#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#] I'm celebrating You.
_ _ [C#]
Forever _ [G#] with You,
no crying [F#] there,
forever with You,
[G#] no burdens,
no [F#] worldly care,
my heart is [C#] anticipating.
_ _ [F#] _ _
Eternally [G#] with You,
celebrating _ [C#] You,
forever [G#] with You,
I long to [F#] be,
forever worshipping,
[C#] loving You,
raising the [F#] heat.
When You say,
Child, [C#] no more waiting,
no more waiting [F#] till this,
I'll think forever,
[G#] _ celebrating _ [C#] You. _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ I'll see [G#] all my loved ones
gone on [F#] before,
I'll get to be [C#] with them,
laugh with them,
hold them [F#] once more,
there'll be no more [C#] separating.
_ [F#] _ Together we [G#] will be [F#] _ [G#] celebrating [C#] You.
Together [G#] we'll worship You and [F#] sing,
forever [C#] praising Lord Jesus.
I'll pray, [F#] Lord, and think,
when You say, Child, [C#] no more waiting,
no more waiting [F#] till this,
enjoy your rest and start [G#] _
celebrating [A#m] You.
_ _ [D#] _ _ _
[C#] _ [F#] _ Forever, Lord, I'll be [G#] _ celebrating [C#] You.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ When I get [G#] to see You,
