The Homecoming Week Lyrics & Chords
Verse 1 (B)Upon our journey here below we (Eb)meet with pain and (B)loss; Some(Gm)times there is a crown of thorns, some(C)times the heavy (F)cross. The dreary (B)road to Calvary, the (Eb)bitter goad and (B)sting, But (Gm)what’s inside (F)those (B)gates of pearl (Eb)will be (B)worth (F)every(B)thing. Chorus When (Eb)we’re inside the gates of pearl, We’ll (B)learn a (F)lot of (B)things, We’ll have a harp that’s made of gold, Perhaps a (C)thousand (F)strings; We’ll (B)sing and shout and dance about, The (Eb)Lamb will dry our (B)tears; We’ll have a (F)grand homecoming (B)week, The first ten (F)thousand (B)years. Verse 2 The shadows now begin to fall, the time is drawing nigh, When Christ our Lord shall come again like lightning from the sky. And while we wait and suffer here, praise God, we’ll shout and sing, For one glimpse through those gates of pearl will be worth everything. Chorus When we’re inside the gates of pearl, We’ll learn a lot of things, We’ll have a harp that’s made of gold, Perhaps a thousand strings; We’ll sing and shout and dance about, The Lamb will dry our tears; We’ll have a grand homecoming week, The first ten thousand years. Verse 3 The precious blood of God’s own Son has saved and sanctified A wondrous people for His name and they are called the Bride. Though here neglected and despised, one day the Lord will bring His chosen ones within the gates, and that’s worth everything.
