Album: FORWARD MARCH | Song lyrics to: BETTER PLACE
"BETTER PLACE"
(D) I'm goin' somewhere, (G) I'm gettin' outta here (Em)
I'm headin' for (G) New Jeru(F#/G)sa(Em)lem
This world's not my home, it's not where I belong
My Home's a new and better Place
one where (A) I'll behold (A4) my Savior's (A) face
all of God's true children were never flad-a-wavin'
patriots of some earthly land
But pilgrims & strangers aware of the dangers
in calling some place on earth your home
all the way down from Egypt to Rome
(Chorus)
Not satis(D)fied with (G) earthly (A) fakes
we'll look on high for God's Own State
Won't fall for lies but we will wait
for the (G) Real Thing, 'cause we're (A) heading
for a Better (D) Place (G-Em-A4-A)
(D) I'm goin' somewhere, (G) I'm gettin' outta here (Em)
I'm headin' for (G) New Jeru(F#/G)sa(Em)lem
This world's not my home, it's not where I belong
Darling, the best is yet to come
Safe & sound in dear Jesus' arms
For justice we hunger, we're never warmongers or
patriots of some earthly land
But pilgrims & strangers aware of the dangers
in making the devil's ways your own
all the way from Saigon to Cologne
or Alsaka down to San Antone
nor your glorious NWO
(Chorus 2x)
for a Better (D) Place (G-Em-A4-A) (2x)
