BRACE FOR IMPACT! I’m Gonna Sing.
This is a song I recently wrote about heaven to an old melody from the 60’s.
What I’d really like is for one of my Youtube friends who has the gift of music to sing it and post it back to me.
Words and Chords below.
A Better Land
Words, Doug Batchelor (2020), Music Acker Bilk (1961)
C F Dm C Am F
There is a Better Land where we can meet someday
C Am Em F Dm G G7
A land that’s free from danger where children laugh and play
C F Dm C Am F
And There’s a brighter land than your heart can conceive
C Am Em G7 G C C7
It’s just beyond Mount Calvary for those who will believe
(Refrain)
F Dm C G7 G C C7
A land full of peace and joy with light flooding every part
F Dm Em D D7 G7
Is waiting for those who love the Savior with all their heart
C F Dm C Am F Dm
There’s a richer land than you have ever seen
C Am Em F Dm G
More splendor, gold and glory, than you could even dream
C F Dm Am F
And here’s the best of all, because of Jesus’ grace
C Am Em G7 G C C7
He paid to buy your passage so you can see His face
(Refrain)
C F Dm Am F
And here’s the best of all, because of Jesus’ care
C Am Em G7 G C C7
He died to buy your pardon so you can join Him there

Great song there Doug and some true words to give Hope for the fuure for those who believe in Jesus and out salvation.
THanks Doug
OH, my! I absolutely love your voice, Pastor Doug! Your voice and the style of that song remind me much of the Maranatha Singers from the late 60's and 70's. The words the Lord gave you are…priceless! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Great song
Has someone recorded this to Spotify? I’d love to put it in my gospel playlist
