Album: The fear of God
Year: 2009
Verse:
E Abm
Dear God, why should I think You're good in a world that's falling apart?
C#m B
The flags and lies, picket signs raised high, the endless enveloping dark
E Abm
Now here we sit, drifting further from You, two thousand years on their way out
C#m B
Now here I am, as I've grown to know You, still haunted by my fears and my doubts
Pre-Chorus:
Am B
Just a man, just a vapor, just a waste of your space
Abm Am
All the good that I've done is in spite of myself
B Abm
I'm not sure that I can look You in Your face when I finally set foot in
Am B
Your kingdom
Verse:
E Abm
Dear God, what went wrong? We hate ourselves, we hate our brother
C#m B
We so desperately want to find our way, and all You say is love one another
Am B Am E B
Bridge:
Am B
And little babies starve to death, emaciated, out of breath
C#m E
Unfaithful wives make vows untrue, husbands beat them black and blue
Am B
Junkies vomit in the streets, writhing, twitching in their skin
C#m E
Sell themselves to die some more, rotting from the outside in
Am B
Parents steal the innocence from their children, scared and shaking
C#m E
Drink away the guilt at night, brings quiet to the endless aching
Am B
And evil men boast on TV, swimming in a sea of wealth
C#m E
While misery beds honest men, and lonely people kill themselves
Am B
And everyone cries out Your name, as the world is raped by selfishness
C#m E
And no one knows the way to heaven, we only know the emptiness
Am B
And the storm it rages in my heart, and the endless empty roars in my ears
C#m E
My world is coming all apart, I've no strength left to dry my tears
Am B
And through it all I hear Your voice, breaking my heart, breaking my will
C#m E
Calms the storm inside my soul as You whisper "peace, be still..."
Chorus:
Am C#m
You place Your hands around my heart, You quiet the emptiness in me
Abm B
A king that kneels, a God made a servant, You set the captives free
Am C#m
You wait for me, a wretch of a man, no record of wrongs do You keep
Abm B
You are comfort when I mourn, You are strength when I am weak Jesus Christ,
Am C#m
the king of kings. Though we ache, though we cry, never break, never die
Abm Am C#m
We sing of His great love again and again and His love reigns forever, and
B Am C#m Abm B Am C#m Abm B
forever more. Forever and ever, Amen
