[D]
Before I die, I want to tell the Lord I love Him.
Before I go, I need to have some [A] peace of mind.
I'm [D] gonna pray that I may be with all the others
In that blessed, [A] eternal kingdom in [D] the sky.
I've lived a life of both hatred and frustration
But never proud of all the bad names that [A] I've earned.
[D] And though I'm sorry for the pain I've caused my brothers
I don't expect [A] any love [D] here in return.
For a sinner [G] am I, [D] and if I must die
[A] Lord, please have sympathy [D] on me.
For when it's [G] my time, [D] if you'd be so kind
[A] Make room in heaven for [D] me.
I've never been one to walk the straight and narrow
I've caused despair to so many that [A] I've known
But [G] if [D] you will, send a message to your angel
And tell the folks that [A] I won't [D] be coming home.
Oh dear Lord, please have mercy on this soldier
I'm just a man, and I must pay for [A] what I've done
But [D] if you find it in your heart to please forgive me
I'll be so thankful [A] just to be a [D] chosen one.
For a [G] sinner am I, [D] and if I must die
[A] Lord, please have sympathy [D] on me.
For [Bm] when it's my [G] time, [D] if you'd be so kind
[A] Make room in heaven for [D] me.
I'm gonna get down on my knees, pray for forgiveness
I'm gonna sing joyful praises to [A] my Lord
[D] And when I leave this broken shell to meet my maker
Then take my soul [A] up above to [D] heaven's door.
For a [G] sinner am I, [D] and if I must die
[A] Lord, please have sympathy [D] on me.
For [G] when it's my time, [D] if you'd be so kind
[A] Make room in heaven [D] for me.
