verse 1 
     C               G 
How long, will they wait? 
            Am 
Don't they want to walk through  
       F 
that beautiful gate 
       C                     G 
That Jesus is goin to swing back 
          Am         F 
on it's hinges, one day 
       C                      G         C   F G 
that Jesus is going to swing wide, one day 

verse 2 
           C            G 
Are they really having fun? 
         Am                       F 
or just tryin' to drown out the voice  
                       C             G 
of the one, calling softly, 'Come to Me, 
        Am                  F 
You've been to long on the run.' 
           C             G            C     F G 
Calling softly, 'Come to Me, I'm the One.' 

F G There are so many who care, saying, C Bm Am 'Yes, I want to be there. F G (But) Life right here right now is so grand.' C Bm Am They're like children playing in the sand. F G Their carefully fashioned worlds will stand, F G till the first storms come.
verse 3 C G I have found I have friends, Am and there are many I don't know F walking down a dead end. C G Saying, 'Everything looks fine to me.' Am F While they're asleep to the warning God sends. C G Saying, 'Everything looks fine to me, C F G no crisis impends.' verse 4 C G Was it so, long ago, Am F I thought I could wait because I'd know, C G When the winds of strife were let go. Am F That isn't so, Oh no. C G Because people who wait too long, C F G just won't go.
