After The Sunrise- Chuck Wagon Gang
VERSE 1: Sorrows surround us, while treading life's road
Troubles confound us, make heavy our load
Fetters that bound us, no longer will goad
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be
REFRAIN
After the sunrise, happy we'll be - we know
After the sunrise, Jesus we'll see - in heaven
All will be glory, singing the story
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be
REPEAT ABOVE CHORD PATTERN
VERSE 2:
Shadows will vanish, when morning shall come
Love's light will vanish, in vapors like some
Even the planets, together will hum
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be
REPEAT REFRAIN
VERSE 3:
Angels are waiting, to carry the news
Hearts, can the Saviour, no longer refuse
Cease all your hating, be changing your views
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be
