Fm      Bbm7           Eb              Fm
You  may ask me why I serve the Lord,
Fm                      Eb  Eb/F Eb/G
Is it just for Heaven's gain,
Cm                         Eb  Eb/D     Cm   Cm/Bb
Or to walk those mighty streets     of gold,
Ab                      Bb  Bb/F Bb/G
And to hear the angels sing.
Fm/Ab            Bb             Eb
 Is   it just to drink from the fountain,
Ab                   Eb  Eb/D
That never shall run dry.
Ab/C        Ab     Eb   Bb/D       Cm
 Or just to live forever, ever, and ever,
Ab      Ab/Bb             Eb Eb/D
In that sweet old bye and bye.


[Chorus]
         Ab   Ab/Bb        Eb    Eb/F    Eb/G
But if heaven never was promised  to   me,
Ab              Bb        Eb
Neither God's promise to live eternally.
Eb/D       Cm        Cm/Bb      Fm/Ab      Fm
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Bb                   Gm/Bb Bb
Living in a world of dark-ness,
                      Ab/C Ab/Bb  Ab   Eb/G
He came along  and  brought  me   the  light
Ab            Ab/Bb      Eb     Eb/F Eb/G
If there were never any streets  of  gold,
Eb        Bb               Eb
Neither a land where we'll never grow old,
Eb/D       Cm        Cm/Bb      Fm/Ab      Fm
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Bb                   Gm/Bb Bb
Living in a world of dark-ness,
                   Ab/C   Ab/Bb Ab   Eb/G
He came along and brought  me   the  light


[Bridge]
Ab                              Eb           Eb/F    Eb/G
O He has been my closest friend down through-out the years
Ab                            Eb
And every time I cry you know He dries all my tears
Eb/D       Cm        Cm/Bb      Fm/Ab      Fm
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life
Bb                   Gm/Bb  Bb
living in a world of dark - ness,
        Ab/C   Ab/Bb  Ab   Eb/G
But He brought  me    the  light.
                Bb                  Gm/Bb  Bb
You know I was living in a world of dark - ness,
        Ab/C   Ab/Bb Ab   Eb/G
But He brought  me   the  light.
        Bb                 Gm/Bb  Bb
I was living in a world of dark - ness,
       Ab/C   Ab/Bb Ab   Eb/G
But He brought  me  the  light.
