"IF WE COULD SEE BEYOND TODAY"

If we could see beyond today as God can see,
If all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows flee;
O'er present griefs we would not fret,
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me.

If we could know beyond today as God doth know,
Why dearest treasures pass away,
And tears must flow.
We'd know that darkness leads to light,
And dreary days will soon grow bright;
Some day life's wrongs will be made right,
Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know, we often say,
But God in love a veil doth throw
Across our way;
We cannot see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more,
He leads us till this life is o'er;
Trust and obey.

He leads us till this life is o'er;
Trust and obey.

 

"IF WE COULD SEE BEYOND TODAY" (with chords)

Capo: 1st fret
(Bm/D)-(C#7)-(F#m)-(Am)-(Am6)

If (E)we could see beyond today as (Bsus4)God can (B)see,
If (F#m)all the clouds should (B7sus4)roll a(B7)way,
The (A/E)shadows (E)flee;
O'er (Bm/D)present griefs we (C#7)would not fret,
Each (F#m)sorrow we would (Am6)soon forget,
For (E)many joys are (C#m)waiting (F#)yet
(E)For (B)you and (E)me.

(E)-(Fdim)-(F#m)-(Am)-(Am6)

If (E)we could know beyond today as (Bsus4)God doth (B)know,
Why (F#m)dearest treasures (B7sus4)pass a(B7)way,
And (A/E)tears must (E)flow.
We'd (Bm/D)know that darkness (C#7)leads to light,
And (F#m)dreary days will (Am6)soon grow bright;
Some (E/B)day life's wrongs will (C#m)be made (F#7)right,
(E/B)Faith (B)tells us (E)so.

(E)-(Fdim)-(F#m)-(Am6)-(E/B)-(F#9)-(E/B)-(C7)

If (F)we could see, if we could know, we (Csus4)often (C)say,
But (Gm)God in love a (C7sus4)veil doth (C7)throw
A(Bb/F)cross our (F)way;
We (Cm/Eb)cannot see what (D7)lies before,
And (Gm)so we cling to (Bbm6)Him the more,
He (F/C)leads us till this (Dm)life is (G9)o'er;
(F/C)Trust (C7)and o(F)bey.
(F7/Eb)-(Bb/D)-(Bbm/Db)

He (F/C)leads us till this (Dm7)life is (G9)o'er;
(F/C)Trust (C7)and o(F)bey.(G/F)-(F).
