The end
I keep on toiling
[F] Oh, I'm toiling in [Cm] the stormy [C] rain
Oh, I'm patiently waiting and I'm watching
For the [D] Savior to come [G] again
[G] Oh, [C] I'm coming Lord
Every day [F] I'm trusting in [Cm] your will
[C] Lord, keep me, every day of my life dear
[G]
And oh, [C] when in the midst of all around [Am] me
And after it's all over
I [F] want you to cry my [C] name above
And oh, the gates swing open
The [F] truth's [Cm] older than one
[F]
[C] And oftentimes when I'm by myself this is what I say
Lord, teach me how to treat my neighbor
And every [F] day I want you to teach me
[C] How to love my friend
And oh, fill me, fill me with the Holy Spirit
[D] Until the Savior, [D] I'm waiting on [G] Jesus to come again
But [C] I'm, sometimes I'm down and I'm up in the midst
But [F] every day I'm trusting in [C] your will
And oh, when the gates swing open
I believe [F] I'll see my dear old mother that morning
I just want to tell her, oh [F] mother
[C] What's charming on this streets in town
So many times I had to give up the right for the wrong
And crying in the midnight hour
I wonder will you meet me there that [F] morning
When the gates [C] swing open
Oh Lord, I'm
