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

He died to buy your pardon so you can join Him there

Really Beautiful. Thank you. Praise Jesus. May God bless you and your family. Thanks for your ministry and this lovely pretty song 🙏🏻
Welll done!
Pastor Doug, You may find more technically talented folks to sing your song, but you will not find more passion. When I was a kid, I was sold on Christmas. That included Berle Ives singing on a Christmas special. This tune sounds way better than that.
Very nice words bro. Doug, keep writing, singing and playing for our Lord.
Bless you.
Pastor that was beautiful; I would share it around. You can sing.
