Oh boy, singing at funerals is the hardest thing...especially if it is the funeral for someone you knew and loved! but this is a good one for a Christian's funeral

Thanks for the chords. I was asked to play this song for a funeral in 2 days and couldn't find the music online. I'm sure I could have figured out the chords, but it sure saves time to find them already done.

Thank you Pianoman82 for sharing these chords and words... I played this song at my Grandma's funeral and was so emotional I left the music on the piano and have been looking for this music to play again in honor of her

Here it is in the Key of C/Db. This is from memory and I'm not in front of the piano, but I think it's pretty close. Let me know if you need it transposed and I'll try to help with that.

(C)When the time comes and I'm standing at the (Bb)river
That (F)seperates the two worlds that I (C)love,
(C)Torn between my precious friends and my (Bb)family
And the (F)place of peace that's waiting up (C)above,
(Bb)Hold my hand and stay there by my (F)side,
And (Bb)when I finally step into the (F)tide,

Celebrate me (C)home, celebrate me (Em)there.
Celebrate me (Dm)in that land of wonder where (F/G)nothing can (G)compare.
(C)Celebrate me in that place, (Em)celebrate me saved by grace.
(Dm)Don't just sit and weep because I'm (G)gone;
Celebrate me (C)home.

(C) I have spent most of my life on earth (Bb)preparing
To (F)take the trip from here to Heaven's (C)throne.
With the shield and Word of God to (Bb)guide me
It's a (F)comfort knowing I am not (C)alone.
So (Bb)when I take my final fleeting (F)breath
And (Bb)fade into the gentle sleep of (F)death.

(F) No more broken dreams. (C)No more tears to cry.
(F) Into my Father's arms I'll (C)fly. (Ab) *key change to Db

(Db) Celebrate me home, celebrate me (Fm)there.
Celebrate me (Ebm)in that land of wonder where (Gb/Ab)nothing can (Ab)compare.
(Db)Celebrate me in that place, (Fm)celebrate me saved by grace.
(Ebm)Don't just sit and weep because I'm (Ab)gone;
Celebrate me (Db)home.(Ab)(Gb)
(Gb/Ab) Celebrate me (Db)home.

when it's my time and I'm standing at the river.

celbrate me home,l celbrate me there,l celbrate me in that land forever.
