Artist: Mountain Faith
Song: Absent from the body
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
A
Was I wand’ring like Job would I e’er live again?
G D G A
Then the blessed Redeemer gave me victory over sin.
A
Through His blood He’s provided a heavenly home,
G D G A
I’ll shout the glad hosanna when I bow at the throne.
[Chorus]
G D G A
To be absent from the body’s to be present with the Lord,
G Em
what a blessed precious promise He’s given in His word.
A
Through the valley of the shadow is the place we must go,
G D G A
I’ll not fear my cross, Lord’ll save my soul.
[Verse 2]
A
What a joy to be part of the blood bought redeemed,
G D G A
a ragged old sinner purchased by the King.
A
He’s gone back to glory to prepare us a place,
G D G A
soon I’ll be going and I’ll meet Him face to face.
[Chorus]
G D G A
To be absent from the body’s to be present with the Lord,
G Em
what a blessed precious promise He’s given in His word.
A
Through the valley of the shadow is the place we must go,
G D G A
I’ll not fear my cross, Lord’ll save my soul.
(x2)
[Outro]
G D G A
I’ll not fear my cross, and Lord’ll save my soul.
G D G A
