[Verse 1]
D     Bm            Em
Got a ticket coming home
Fdim
Wish the officer
Gbm                    D
Had known what a day today has been
G
Then I stumbled through the door
D
Dropping junk mail on the floor
G
When will this day end?
A
Then Your letter caught my eye
G
Brought the hope in me to life
A
'Cause You know me very well
G
And I bet you wrote me, just to tell me.

[Chorus]
D
In a little while we'll
be with the Father
G
Can't you see Him smile
D
In a little while we'll be home forever
G
In a while
D
We're just here to learn to love Him
G                              D
We'll be home in just a little while.

[Verse 2]
D
Boy that letter hit the spot
G                         D
Made me think of all I've got
G
And all that waits for me
D                           G
Guess I've known it all day long
D
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong
G
When will I believe?
A
Waking halfway through the night
G
Reaching toward the lamp, the light
A
Picking up the word I find
G
Here's another letter to remind me.

Bb
Days like these are
C           D
Just a test of our will
Bb                      A
Will we walk or will we fall?
Bb
Well I can almost see
C      D
The top of the hill
Bb                      A
And I believe it's worth it all.
