              C                    G                       Am 
You have led me to the sadness/ I have carried this pain 
              C                      G                     Am 
On a back bruised, nearly broken/ I?m crying out to You 
 
         C      
I will sing of Your mercy 
         G                       Am                  F 
That leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy 
 
          C       G              Am 
When death like a gypsy/comes to steal what I love 
          C               G             Am 
I will still look to the heavens/I will still seek Your face 
      C                G          Am                              
But I fear you aren?t listening/Because there are no words 
          C                G             Am 
Just the stillness and the hunger/For a faith that assures 
 
    C   G      Am F       C  G      Am F 
Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia, Allelu-ia 
 
        C          G           Am 
While we wait for rescue/With our eyes tightly shut 
     C             G                    Am 
Face to the ground using our hands/To cover the fatal cut 
          C           G       Am 
Though the pain is an ocean/ Tossing us around, around, around 
         C              G         Am            
You have calmed greater waters/Higher mountains have come down
