verse 1 
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
