[Fm] [Ab] Through
[Fm] the [Ab] years I keep on touring, [Db] touring through the storm and [Ab] rain, watch the leaves and trees in the wind,
shallow and grave, oh, [Bbm] and tend my feet, come again, oh, [Ab] [G] [Abm]
[Fm] just trust in, [Ab] in thy word, just keep me from the path [Eb] of sin,
Lord, [Ab] I need thou, [Db] oh, write my [Ab] name above, [Eb] now, now when the [Ab] gates, when I see them swingin',
Lord, open, let me in,
[Abm] keep [Ab] me fit for service, oh, it [Db] wraps me up [Ab] on every hand, Lord, I have stood on many a trice,
[Bb] one day, Lord, I know, [Eb] I'll understand, one [Ab] day, Lord, [F] I'm free, Lord, [Fm] just trust in, [Ab] in thy word, Lord, Lord, [D] keep me, keep me, keep me [Eb] from the path of sin,
[Ab] Lord, [D] I need thou, [G] oh, [Db] write [Ab] my name above, now, [Gm] now when [Eb] the gates, [F] when I see them swingin', Lord, [Ab] I want you to let me in, just let me walk on in,
I'm [Eb] so tired [Ab] of this load I'm carrying, Lord, [Db] I'm tired [Fm] of this [Ab] world of sin, I know there ain't no step but Jesus in the kingdom I'm beggin', [Bb] sing weary, weary soul, [Bbm] come on in,
[Ab] I am coming, [G] Lord, I am coming, [Fm] Lord, just trust in, in [Ab] thy word, Lord, just trust in, in thy word, Lord, keep me, keep me from the path [Eb] of sin,
Lord, [Ab] I need thou, [C] oh, write my [Ab] name above, now, now when the gates, when I see them [Bb] swingin', Lord, [Ab] I want you to let [F] me [Ab] in,
