Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,

To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,

To turn, turn will be our delight,

Till by turning, turning we come round right.
                 

Sewn In My Skin

Time and again I feel like
Giving up the fight in my head
The pressure won't let up
And this call and response
Don't seem to get us there
And emptiness surrounds us

But I will not give it any satisfaction
Choking the life out of my innocence
You built it in me
A hope they can't destroy
And nothing will ever take it away

The kingdom of heaven is sewn in my skin
The kingdom of heaven is sewn in my skin
Heaven is sewn in my skin
The kingdom of heaven is sewn in my skin

Shower Of Grace
(Mark 5: 21-34)

Gmaj7   A         D             G
Who can understand this man-messiah
D                 Bm  G          A   D 
Who turns no-one away, turns no-one away?
Gmaj7   A         D             G
Who can understand how just a simple touch
D                   Bm    G          A     D 
Can heal my wounded heart, heal my wounded heart.

D                     Bm     
There’s nothing I can do
G                        D/F# A7/E
To scare your grace away
D                  Bm
No foolish thing I do
G                      A
No foolish thing I say
                      Bm
Under the shadow of a cross
G                       D/F# A7/E
Under a shower of grace
D          G/B      D/F#    A   
I feel the father’s healing hands
G             A            D
And touch his smiling face
(Rpt last 2 lines final time)

You don’t fear the things that make me hide in shame
You love me as I am, love me as I am
Take this burdened heart, lift these chains away
Turn bitterness to peace, bitterness to peace.

Where your Spirit leads, I know tears may follow
The wind blows where it will, wind blows where it will
Yet I trust in you and pray for tomorrow
Turn sorrow into joy, sorrow into joy.

Still Small Voice

A       E   A   D   A/E E7 A   E7
     A            E          A
See Elijah in the shade of a tree
        D           A/E E7    A
See him praying that he would die.
E     A              E        F#m
He is touched by the angel of God
      D  Dmaj7 E 
Under heaven’s eye

   E7               A            D   E    
Maybe that’s His shout in the thunder
                 A          D
Maybe that’s His cry in the fire
E7               A            D   E Maybe that’s the sound of the Father
                    A    D A E7
In that still small voice

Drinking water and breaking bread
With the desert all around
Is encouraged by the angel of God
On that holy ground

CHORUS

Bridge
A         E                A    
Like a garden hidden in shifting sands
D   A/C#          E/B 
God waits for his own
E      A                E       F#m 
In the desert where the demons abound
       D        Dmaj7 E E7
Is the Father’s throne

CHORUS

Swing low, Sweet Chariot

G                        C          G
I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
G                       D
Commin' for to carry me home
G                             C             G
There was a band of angels, a-commin' after me
G              D        G
Commin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Commin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Commin' for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But but I know my soul is heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm a-comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home

CHORUS
And now they're commin' for to carry me home
