IF WE COULD SEE BEYOND TODAY

Words: Unknown
Music: Norman J. Clayton

[Dad's key: D]

Verse 1
If (E)we could see beyond today as (B7sus4)God (B)does see,
If (B7)all the clouds should roll away, the (A6)sha(E)dows flee,
For (C#7)present griefs we would not fret,
Each (F#m)sorrow we would (Am6)soon for(B7)get,
For (E)many (F#7)joys are (E/B)waiting (A#dim)yet for (E/B)you (B7)and (E)me.

Verse 2
If (E)we could know beyond today as (B7sus4)God (B)doth know,
Why (B7)dearest treasures pass away and (A6)tears (E)must flow,
And (C#7)why some darkness leads to light,
Why (F#m)dreary days will (Am6)soon grow (B7)bright.
Some (E)day life's (F#7)wrongs will (E/B)be made (A#dim)right,
Faith (E/B)tells (B7)us (E)so.

Verse 3
"If (E)we could see, if we could know," we (B7sus4)of (B)ten say,
But (B7)God, in love, a veil doth throw a(A6)cross (E)our way.
We (C#7)cannot see what lies before,
And (F#m)so we cling to (Am6)Him the (B7)more.
He (E)leads us(F#7)'til this (E/B)life is (A#dim)o'er,
Trust (E/B)and (B7)o(E)bey.
