G5 E5
The Jordan is waiting for me to cross through
C2(no3) Am7(4) D5 D5
My heart is agin' I can tell
G5 E5
So Lord I'm asking for one last favor from You
C2(no3) Am7(4) D5
Here's my heart take it where You will
G5 E5
This life has shown me how we're mend-ed and how we're torn
C2(no3) Am7(4) D5 D5
How it's okay to be lone- ly as long as you're free
G5
Sometimes my ground was stony
E5
And sometimes covered up with thorns
C2(no3) Am7(4)
And only You could make it what it had to be
D5
And now that it's done
Am7(4) G5
If they dressed me like a pau- per
C5 G5
Or if they dined me like a prince
Am7(4) G5
If they lay me with my fa- thers
C2(no3) D5
Or if my ash- es scatter on the wind I don't care
G5 A5 G5 C5 D5
But when I leave I want to go out like E-li-jah
E5 D5 G5 C5 D5
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire
G5 C5
And when I look back on the stars
G5 B5 E5 A5 A5
It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park
C5 D5 G5
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
E5 C5 D5

Verse 2:
There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground
Now that this is all ending
I want to hear some music once again
'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found
But the Jordan is waiting
Though I ain't never seen the other side
Still they say you can't take in the things you have here
So on the road to salvation
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride
And His music is already falling on my ears
There's people been talking
They say they're worried about my soul
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking
'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll
And when I do
Repeat Chorus:
But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
Repeat Chorus:
'Cause when I leave I want to go out like Elijah
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire
And when I look back on the stars
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park
C5 D5
And it won't break my heart
G5
To say goodbye
E5 C5 D5 D5
