[G] [C]
[F] [Bb]
[F] Have you prayed for a loved one [Bb] [F] struggling hard [Gm] with pain?
[C] You asked [Gm] the Lord [C] for healing, [Bb] but that healing [C]
[F] never came.
And in spite of all your efforts, [Bb] the good [Am] Lord called [Gm] them home.
[C] It's [Gm] hard to [C] let go when [Bb] you're trying [C] to [F] hold on.
[Bb] [C]
[F] Now you're down in the valley,
[Bb] [Am] looking up to [Gm] the [G] sky,
[C] and you're praying, Lord, you know what's best,
[Bb] but I [C] don't [F] understand why.
If you could hear your loved one [Bb] [F] speaking now [Gm] to you,
[C] they'd say you wouldn't be grieving
[Bb] if [C] you [F] only knew.
If you [Bb] only knew, I'm just [F] going home.
Your prayers [C] have been answered, my sickness [F] is gone.
Things look [Bb] much better from [F] heaven's view.
The sun [C] always shines, we're having a time, if you [F] only knew.
[C]
[F] [Bb]
[F] To be absent from the body [Bb] is [F] present with [Gm] the Lord.
[C] [Gm] I'm in the arms of [C] Jesus now, and [Bb] I'm not [C] suffering
[F] anymore.
Hand in hand we'll stroll together [Bb] down [F] heaven's [Gm] avenue.
[C] We're having [Gm] a big [C] celebration, [Bb] if [C] you [F] only knew.
If you [Bb] only knew, I'm just [F] going home.
Your prayers [C] have been answered, my sickness [F] is gone.
Things look [Bb] much better from
[F] heaven's view.
The sun [C] always shines, we're having a time, if you [F] only knew.
[G] Things look [Bb] much better from [F] heaven's view.
The sun [C] always shines, we're having a time, if you [F] only knew.
