  D                 C              G
I dreamed I met the richest man in heaven
   Em                   Am                 D
Compared to him, Howard Hughes was in poverty
    G                Em              Am
And when I asked him how he had such treasures
   C                G          D
He said it's from a simple policy


   C             G
He put it all in heaven's bank
Em              Am
Nothing but the Lord to thank
C           G               D
Growing the interest day by day


   C             G
Invest it in the Lord my friend
Em                Am
He'll be with you in the end
    C              G            D
The richest man in heaven would say


D                     C             G
To this earth, he was born a simple man
  Em           Am          D
A love for his God and his Son
G                     Em               Am
And when he left this world, he didn't leave us much
       C           G               D
But in heaven, his riches had been won


   C             G
He put it all in heaven's bank
Em              Am
Nothing but the Lord to thank
C           G               D
Growing the interest day by day


   C             G
Invest it in the Lord my friend
Em                Am
He'll be with you in the end
    C              G            D
The richest man in heaven would say

My grandfather is a great great man

But he's getting a little old
D      A       E
I just need to love him more
       D   A     E
As the age takes hold

      A                  D

Let me tell you about this boss of mine
D          A       E
Making our lives a hell
D           A    E
Sometimes I just have to laugh
   D    A  E
He does it well
    A                   D
But one day there'll be judgement day
A                       E
Looking the Lord in the face
A              D
I just want to be there Lord

When he pleads his case

D
Sometimes when I'm feeling badly
C          G     D
Sure could use a friend
D
When I'm singing sadly
C      G        D
Know I can't pretend


       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?


D
I woke up it as still last night
C             G       D
Time to cry myself to sleep
D
I read the Word it just was right
C             G      D
Treasure I'll always keep



       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?


D
Now when I'm feeling lonely
C              G         D
Get down on my knees and pray
D
To the one and only
C        G     D
Savior I got today



       C           G
In the blink of an eye
G           D
He seems me there
C          G
Deep in my heart
G         D
He knew I cared
G                         D
Broken hearted I couldn't defend
C                G         D
Can you hear Him knocking again?
C                G         D
