[suterra23]

Would you have any idea how this song would be played on the ukulele?

[lladnekj]

I have no idea, I don't play the Ukulele but if it would help I could post the chords up.

[chriaus]

I love this song, I heard it when David and Violetta sang casually by the beach. Would I be able to ask for the chords to this song? And even the words, cos, there were some words that I didn't quite get..

[lladnekj]

I did post the words in the video info, as far as the chords go, I don't know what they are all called. but I could try to make chord charts for the ones that I don't know. It just might take me a while to get to it.

[civreal]

Yeah its. G,C,Bm,Em,Am,D7,Bm,Em,Am,D7...­chours: C Bm C B7 Am D7 G... in that orders and you pluck 1st nd 3rd togeather string then 2nd string then 4th string then 3rd again in that order.

[arawpao]

thanks again lladnekj... looking forward for that great day too.

[bimjales]

What a sad song. Hope you are not rushing to die.

[lladnekj]

No no, not rushing to die, but rather looking forward to the day that Jesus comes back in clouds of glory to take us from this old sin-filled world, to our eternal home!

[rensase]

HI there..

I was wondering if you've read original writing of the lyrics to this song? It's Ellen White's vision of Heaven..

Tell me if you'd like to read it, i'll send you the link :D

Thanks brother for singing these inspired words.

God Bless.

[sbonilla32]

yea.. the vision is beautiful.. when i first read it.. i was blessed... i just came out of the streets and into a christian school and then i was starting to read the gift of prophecy.. beautiful song..

[PiTAT0RRES]

rensae, may i ask which book these words are from?

i've read the book i just cant remember where i read it

[rensase]

Hii,

The book is called Early writings and it will be found in chapt. 13.2 under My First Vision.

:) Happy searching.

God Speed.

[jusafaze]

wasnt this song written with referrance to a vision that Ellen white had of heaven?

[guitmartiman]

Yes. Rick Metcalf said he was inspired to write it after reading the first chapter in her book Early Writings.

[4Christ26]

I had never heard this song before until now...I really enjoyed it...edifying...I want to go to heaven too! God Bless you man.

[fountainviewkid]

Aww bring's back memories. I miss FVA and singing that on Friday nights. Thanks "lladnekj"

[sosendiyou07]

Fountainview Academy? Do you know Ed Lyons? Or his kids? Or did you graduate before they went there?

[lladnekj]

Yeah he was there my Senior year, Angela was in my class. Mr Lyons was one of my favorite teachers there that year!

[sosendiyou07]

I love this song and video! Thank you so much Rick for writing it, and lladnekj for recording it for us! Could one of you please post the tabs? My youth group loves this song, we want to sing it, but I don't know how to play it..

[bbtripleg]

Hey, our band loves this song and we want to play it. Is it possible that someone could post the basic chord format here? Thanks!

[rickmetcalfmusic]

Hey Jeff, Just wanted to clarify that the song was written in 1981 after I read the first chapter of Ellen White's book "Early Writings." I am glad my song is being used for God's glory... Rick Metcalf

[rachelannnelson]

The text is arranged from Ellen G. White, an early Seventh-day Adventist pioneer

[mhaiah80]

I like your song..God bless you and more power..

[wwjd321]

great great awesome wonderful song... i love it...

does anyone know who originally wrote this song... i cant find guitar tabs for this song either.... HELP ME

[sosendiyou07]

Hey, do you happen to know the people from Oklahoma Academy? Because they sing this song everyday, and well.. I had never heard anyone else sing it..

[lladnekj]

I only know one or two people that were at OA but I don't think that they are still there. I really learned this song during my two years at Fountainview Academy where we sang it as a closing song after vespers every Friday night. Great Memories!!

[lladnekj]

I have now posted the Lyrics in the video description. Hope it is a blessing!

[sojourner06]

Another great job on a beautiful song. Thanks so much!

[Jetskiiangel]

OHH how I miss your playing! I love this song and every time I think about or hear it I associate it with you! hehe Very beautiful!

[cyberpinay7]

Beautiful song..can you please post the lyrics too!

[Jessyca423]

Oh precious you do not know how real to me that song has become. Ah well all in Gods timing. You have such a gift love. I feel it should be recognised more. Take care of your self and all those you love. God Bless you love xxx

[hiddentalent123]

nice song

[jiji45]

My brother, I'm also lonely in this earth and I want to join my brothers and sisters in Christ in Heaven and with God's grace we will be there and the day is coming very soon.

[jiji45]

I like your video my brother in Christ. You are a natural. I also share your cause.

[mozart911]

Very great as always!!

[oneiblind30]

JAKE was here.

[McPhan86]

nice

[Clereece]

That sounds like a lament that Kind David would play on his lyre

[guitmartiman]

Good point! I immediately fell in love with this song from the moment I heard it. The first recording I heard of it was done by Matt Minikus. I still can't play it as well as he or my friend, lladnekj, does, but one day I'm going to record it.

[Zea107]

You're handling that guitar pretty well! :>

[guitmartiman]

I wish I could say I taught him everything he knows, but I only just got him started. In fact, I think I may have only given him his first three or four guitar lessons. He was a good student, though. He cought on in a hurry!

[kopkitty]

wonderful song, very...heavenly! ;)

[noeyd]

I really like this song. I remember it from my college days. Great style and arrangement too. Maybe put a little more diaphragm into the vocals though, dude.

[guitmartiman]

I agree. He would benefit from some voice training. Who sang the version you heard in college?

[noeyd]

Rhona Thomas as I recall. But it was it was a cum by ya-style staple of guitar vespers.

[carolsuzz]

VERY beautiful! Thank you.

[brenkatz]

very nice, bravo

[PoohBear510]
