  			Am 
I've been having dreams and visions 
                          Em 
In them you are always standing 
          D 
Right beside me 

Am 
I reach out for your hand 
                     Em 
to see your arms extending 
                 D 
outstretched towards me 

Em                  D 
For you I don the veil 
Em 
By your light 
         D 
Others pale by comparison 
Em                    D 
I place my faith in love 
                     Em 
My fate in this communion 

Am 
I've been having dreams and visions 
                          Em 
In them you are always standing 
         D 
Right beside me 
Am 
I reach out for your hand 
                     Em 
To see your arms extending 
                D 
Outstretched towards me 
Em                  D 
To you I give my pledge 
Em                   D 
I honor all that's good 

In this life we're living 
Em                      D 
To think not only of myself 
                      Em 
But of the greater union 

(Refrão) 
D 
Can I get a witness 
                                          Em 
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely 
 D 
Can I get a witness 
                           Em 
Bless this day sacred and holy 
             C 
Sacred and Holy 

Am 
I've been having dreams and visions 
                           Em 
In them you are always standing 
              D 
Right beside me 
Am 
I reach out for your hand 
                     Em 
To see your arms extending 
                      D 
Outstretched towards me 

Em                D 
With you I am revealed 
Em                     D               Em 
All my shame all my faults and virtues 
                        D 
Behold body mind and spirit 
                        Em  D  Em 
Heart and soul devoted all to you 

(Refrão)
