Key: GG | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

Verse: (This Verse sung ACAPELLA)
        G
We are surrounded,
      C                    G
By a world that's not our home.
         D
We are grounded,
          C                D
Until it comes our time to go.

                  Em
And our souls are aching
        C                  G
With a void that won't be filled.
         D
'Till we see our mansion,
 C              G
High up on the hill.


Verse:
                      G
All the tear-stained pages,
                C             G
That fill the stories of our lives,
        D
Will be erased when,
           C             D
Love lifts up our tired eyes.

           Em
And we see Jesus
         C                  G
For the first time face to face
         D
All the pain will fall
   C             G
A million miles away.


Chorus:
                     Em
'Cause Heaven is the Hope that we hold on to.
                C
Heaven is the Promise for me and for you
                   G
That all we really are is passing through
             D
To something better.

            Em
Weeping may last all through the night,
                  C
But Joy is gonna come with the Morning Light.
                   G
And Heaven is the place where you and I
                 D
Are gonna live forever.

                  G
Ah, Heaven is the hope
               C
Heaven is the hope 
              Em       D     G  G
Heaven is the hope, we hold on to.

Hey ay ay ay
          Em    D     G

Verse:
              G
Oh, I'm so excited
             C               G
And now my heart can hardly wait.
                D
To see all the loved ones,
         C             D
We have lost along the way.

          Em
And every sickness,
            C                  G
It will be healed once and for all.
           D             C
And every burden we have bare,
              G
Will finally fall.


Chorus:
                     Em
'Cause Heaven is the Hope that we hold on to.
                   C
And Heaven is the Promise for me and for you
                   G
That all we really are is passing through
             D
To something better.

                    Em
Oh, and Weeping may last all through the night,
                  C
But Joy is gonna come with the Morning Light.
                   G
And Heaven is the place where you and I
                 D
Are gonna live forever.

Ah, Heaven is the hope

Heaven is the hope 
              Em       D     G
Heaven is the hope, we hold on to.

               G
So we'll keep waiting,
        C              G
Just a few more weary days.
           D
We'll keep watching,
            G            D
For those clouds to roll away.
               Em
And we'll keep walking,
             C                 G
Down this straight and narrow road,

Telling all the world,
      C             G
That heaven is the Hope.

Just telling all the world,

That heaven is the Hope.

        D
Telling all the world,

That heaven is Our Hope.
