If You Only Knew

C    C7    F Bb F

[Verse 1]
F                                Bb     C/A            Gm
Have you prayed for a loved one, struggling hard with pain
C                                        Bb      C      F
You asked the Lord for healing, but that healing never came
F                                 Bb       C/A              Gm
And in spite of all your efforts, the good Lord called them Home
      C                            Bb   C       F      Bb  C
It's hard to let go, when you're trying to hold on

[Verse 2]
            F                  Bb      C/A       Gm
Now you're down in the valley, looking up to the sky
C                                               Bb         C            F
And you're praying "Lord, you know what's best, but I don't understand why."
F                                 Bb   C/A        Gm
If you could hear your loved one, speaking now to you,
           C                           Bb     C     F
They'd say, "You wouldn't be grieving, if you only knew."

[Chorus]
             Bb                   F
If you only knew, I'm just going Home
                        C                        F    F7
Your prayers have been answered, my sickness is gone
                  Bb                    F
Things look much better, from Heaven's view
                 C                     C7                F
The Son always shines, we're having a time, if you only knew

[Verse 3]
F                          Bb      C/A           Gm
To be absent from the body, is present with the Lord
C                                     Bb        C       F
I'm in the arms of Jesus now, and I'm not suffering anymore
F                                  Bb     C/A        Gm
Hand in hand we'll stroll together, down Heaven's avenue
C                                   Bb     C     F
And we're having a big celebration, if you only knew

[Chorus]
             Bb                   F
If you only knew, I'm just going Home
                        C                        F    F7
Your prayers have been answered, my sickness is gone
                  Bb                    F
Things look much better, from Heaven's view
                 C                     C7                F   F7
The Son always shines, we're having a time, if you only knew
                  Bb                    F
Things look much better, from Heaven's view
                 C                     C7                F  Bb F C F
The Son always shines, we're having a time, if you only knew
