[Am] _ [G] [C] And to stand [G] upon the shore
And [Em] know I'll live [D] there _ [G]
[G] forevermore
You [Em] beckon to [C] my loved [G] ones and how my tears did flow
[C] And though I tried, [G] I could not hide how it hurt to see [D] them go
[Em] But now I know [C] that they left this world [G] and just moved to a better place
[C] And someday [G] you will call me [D] too
And I will see them [G] face to face [C] in that city called [G] _
Homeland

_ _ _ I [N] can hear you calling me, oh _ my homeland
You _ _ _ _ know what, Roger?
_ Roger, why don't you just share whatever you got on your heart with us right now?
You know I think that song kind of moves a little bit
And you might not have got what that verse said
I'd just like to tell you
It says you beckoned to my loved ones
And how my tears did flow
And though I tried, I just could not hide
How it hurt to see them go
But now I know they left this world
And moved to a better place
_ And someday, you'll call me too
And I'll see them face to face
Yeah, I'll tell you, I like that
That's good words, Roger
That's great words, you know
I've thought about the times that I've walked down in front of a church
And looked down into that casket
That held the body of a loved one that I love so much
I thought my heart would burst
When I looked in that face that I thought I'd never see again
When I found Jesus
I found out that when they clicked the lid shut on that casket
That's not the end of it for me
I got a homeland with Jesus, praise God
[G] Sing that verse for me
[Em] You beckoned to [C] my loved [G] ones
And how my tears did flow
[C] And though I tried, [G] I just could not hide
How it hurt to see [D] them go
[Em] But now I know they [C] left this world
And [G] moved to a better place
[C] And someday, you'll [G] call me [D] too
And I will see them [G] face to face
When the city comes [C] home
Oh man, [F] I can't leave you [C] currently
Oh my old [C] man
Oh [Am] how [Em] sweet it's [C] gonna be
Just to see you
_ [F] And to stand upon [C] your shore
And [Am] know I'll live [G] there _ [C] forevermore
[G#] When the city [C#] comes home
Oh man, I [F#] can't leave you [C#] currently
Oh my old man
Oh [A#m] how sweet [G#] it's [C#] gonna be
Just to see you
And [F#] to stand upon [C#] your shore
And know [A#m] I'll live [G#] there _ [A#m] forevermore
[F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [N] Good God, glad I'm ready to go
_ How about that?
Are you packed and ready to go tonight?
_ _ Do you have a [B] homeland? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] Oh I tell you what, Roger
If _ you want to hear that verse again
I think it's well [G]-rounded
[Em] That's not [C] the end _ [G] of it for me
I got a homeland with Jesus, praise [C] God
[G] Sing _ _ _ [D] _
[Em] that verse for me
Now I [C] know they just sent this [G] world
And him to a better place
[C] And someday [G] you will call me [D] too
And I will see them [G] face to _ face
When the [C] city comes
_ _ [F] Oh man, I can't leave you currently
[C] Oh my old man
Oh [Am] how sweet it's [C] gonna be
Just to see you
_ [F] And to stand [C] upon your shore
And [Am] know I'll live [G] there _ [C]
forevermore
Sing [G#] it again
Oh I [C#] _ _ _ [F#] can't leave you currently
[C#] Oh [G#] _ [C#] _ how [G#] sweet [A#m] it's gonna be
[F#] Just to [C#] see you
And [F#] to stand [C#] upon your shore
And [A#] know I'll live [G#] there _ [A#m]
forevermore
[F#] When the city comes
[C#] Oh _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
