Standing Outside

Key of A · Chords: I II IV V

Verse 1

A                   A7      D                 A
Judgement is surely coming, coming to you and me
A                                B7        E
We'll be judged that morning for all eternity
A                       D                A
Some will go to heaven, others will be denied
A                                E7     A
Will you be in that number, standing outside?

Chorus

A                       A7   D                  A
Standing outside the portal, standing outside denied
A                            B7              E
Knowing that with the demons ever you shall abide
A                          D                 A
Never to share the beauty awaiting the sanctified
A                              E7     A
Oh what an awful picture, standing outside!

Verse 2

Standing outside while loved ones enter the pearly gates
Knowing that there forever you will separate
To be away from loved ones, and by your God denied
Oh what an awful picture, standing outside!

Verse 3

Can you not see the picture of those who lost to sin
Standing outside the portals without a hope to win
Souls packed with sorrow, without a friend to guide
Will you be in that picture, standing outside?
