Artist: Showbread Song: The fear of God 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 Samyboy
