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