Here & Now
words and music by Mitch McVicker

                                G
Well I've been lookin' to the north
                           C
I've been lookin' to the south
                             G
I've been lookin' for that city up upon that hill

And though I've never really found it you know I'm never doubtin'
      F    C                         F     C
That His word let me tell ya, it's like a rock
                             G
And that's where I'm gonna build
                          C
That's where I'm gonna build


  G                            
I've been lookin' to the west
                              C
I've been looking to the east
                             G
I've been looking for that river flowin' full of life

And though I'm still yet to see it I know where it is leading
 F   C                       F         C
One day let me tell ya, one day real soon
                                G
I will rise and meet Him in the sky
                         C
I will meet Him in the sky



Chorus
            D                           C               G
So there's only, yeah, there's only so much we get to give
             D                        C              G
And there's only, yeah, so many days left for us to live
           Em                           
So as we stare into tomorrow
               C                       
Go ahead and take hold of today
              Am                        
And let our fears give way to courage 
              D                        
Met by the prayers that we pray
             Em                         
We've been swept up by a Saviour
         C                             
Been promised a golden crown
        Am                              
And we know our glory's waiting
          D                            
But His love is here and now
                          G
Let me tell ya 'bout His love
                   C
His love is right here
                   G
His love is right now


                                G
And I've been lookin' to the fields
                               C
I've been lookin' to the roads
                             G
I've been lookin' for them gates swingin' open wide

'Cause I know when I get home I know they're never gonna close
     F   C                          F    C
And He will, let me tell ya, He's gonna wipe
                           G
The tears away from every eye
                           C
Every tear from every eye


                           G           
I've been lookin' to the hills
                               C
I've been lookin' to the sea, yeah
                             G
I've been lookin' for the morning star that's shining bright

And I just gotta believe that it's shining on me
        F   C                        F         C
'Cause His face let me tell ya, how His face shines
                         G
And He showers us with light
                         C
Yes He showers us with light



Repeat Chorus


             Em
We've been swept up by a Saviour
          C
Been promised a golden crown
        Am
And we know our glory's waiting
         D
But His love is here and now
        Em
We've been swept up by a Saviour
        C
Been promised a golden crown
        Am
And we know our glory's waiting
          D
But His love is here and now
                           G
Let me tell ya 'bout His love
                        C
His love is right here
                   G
His love is right now
