A                      F#m7 
  The Jordan is waiting    for me to cross through 
D2                        Bm7          Esus   E 
        My heart is agin'       I can tell 
A                                F#m7 
  So Lord I'm asking for one last    favor from You

Here's my  heart  take  it  where You will

  This life has shown me how we're mend-ed and how we're torn

Sometimes my ground was stony 
             F#m7 
And sometimes covered up with thorns 
         D2                      Bm7   
And only   You   could make it  what  it had to be

     And now that it's done

Or if they dined me like a prince 
Bm7                        Amaj7/C# 
  If they lay me with my   fa-   thers 
         D2                        E7sus 
Or if my  ash-  es scatter on the wind I don't care 
 
 A                         Bm7        A/C#   D     E

F#m7                           E/G#    A     D2  E/D 
With a whirlwind to fuel my char-i-ot of fire 
           A/C#                    D

It'll be like a can- dlelight in Cen- tral Park 
    D                    Esus              A 
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye 
 F#m7         D2         E 
 
Verse 2: 
There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends 
Sometimes this has bent me to the ground 
Now that this is all ending 
I want to hear some music once again 
'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found 
 
But the Jordan is waiting 
Though I ain't never seen the other side 
Still they say you can't take in the things you have here 
So on the road to salvation 
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride 
And His music is already falling on my ears 
 
There's people been talking 
They say they're worried about my soul 
Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking 
'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll 
And when I do 
 
Repeat Chorus: 
But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah 
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire 
And when I look back on the stars 
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park 
And it won't break my heart to say goodbye 
 
Repeat Chorus: 
'Cause when I leave I want to go out like Elijah 
With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire 
And when I look back on the stars 
It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park 
    D                      E7sus 
And it won't break my heart  
       A2 
To say    goodbye 
 F#m9         D         Esus    E
