C                                     G7
I don't ask you Lord to lighten up my burden
                                           C
I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through
                                     F
Being down I want to prove that I am worthy
            C       G7              C
Of a little spot in Heaven close to you


[Verse 2]
                                       G7
Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning
                                           C
Of the hardship and the pain that you went through
                                      F
Know you Lord that I am ready and I'm waiting
             C       G7              C   C7
For a little spot in Heaven close to you


[Refrain]
         F                                C
Precious Lord forget me not don't pass me by
G7                                        C  C7
Though there must be others worthier than I
       F                                       C
If you can then Lord here's what I'll have you do
G7                                    C
Save a little spot in Heaven close to you


[Verse 3]
                                         G7
If my wish is more than I deserve forgive me
                                    C
Up in Heaven any place would surely do
                                              F
But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking
             C       G7              C
For a little spot in Heaven close to you


[Verse 4]
                              G7
At the altar years ago we got acquainted
                                         C
And as time went on the love in my heart grew
                                           F
If it isn't asking too much Lord then save me
              C       G7              C
Just a little spot in Heaven close to you
