Verse 1:
Em              C                                     G
 I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down 
                 D
and wiped our tears away
                  Em
stepped in and saved the day.
           C            G
But once again, I say amen 
                  D
and it's still raining 
Am            
as the thunder rolls 
     C                                  G
I barely hear You whisper through the rain, 
       D 
"I'm with you"
    Am 
and as Your mercy falls 
    C
I raise my hands and praise 
              G              D 
the God who gives and takes away. 



Chorus: 
Em                            C
And I'll praise you in this storm 
                     G
and I will lift my hands 
                     D 
for You are who You are 
                  Em
no matter where I am 
                      C
and every tear I've cried 
                   G
You hold in your hand 
                    D
You never left my side 
                        Am-C 
and though my heart is to-rn 
                            G-D
I will praise You in this storm 



Verse 2:
Em           C                      G
I remember when I stumbled in the wind 
              D
You heard my cry to You
                   Em 
and raised me up again 
                        C                   G 
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on 
             D 
if I can't find You 
    Am   
and as the thunder rolls 
    C                                   G
I barely hear You whisper through the rain 
      D
"I'm with you"
    Am  
and as Your mercy falls 
    C
I raise my hands and praise 
              G               D
the God who gives and takes away 



Chorus 



Bridge:
Em                        C
I lift my eyes onto the hills 
                          G
where does my help come from? 
                                   D                     Em 
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth 
                          C 
I lift my eyes onto the hills 
                          G
where does my help come from? 
                                   D                   Em 
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth



Chorus

Praise You In This Storm

verse 1:

G              D                  Em
she is running a hundred miles an hour 
               C
in the wrong direction
G
she is trying 
D                     Em
but the canyon's ever widening
                          C
in the depths of her cold heart
       D            G           C
so she sets out on another misadventure just to find
      D                 G
she's another two years older and
      C
she's three more steps behind

chorus:
             G                      D
does anybody hear her? can any body see?
                Em                           C
or does anybody even know she's going down today
                         G
under the shadows of our steeple
                             D
with all the lost and lonely people
                  Em                 C
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
             G                     D
does anybody hear her? can anybody see?

verse 2:
G
she is yearning
D               Em
for shelter and affection
                        C
that she never found at home
G
she is searching
D                  Em                          C
for a hero to ride in, to ride in and save the day
D                      G
and in walks her price charming 
       C
and he knows just what to say
     D             G
momentary lapse of reason
        C
and she gives herself away

chorus:
             G                      D

does anybody hear her? can anybody see?

bridge:
Em                                     C
if judgement looms under every steeple, if lofty glances from lofty people
G                                 D
can't see past her scarlet letter and we never even met her
Em                                     C
if judgement looms under every steeple, if lofty glances from lofty people

Intro: G, D, Em, C
C               D                Bm        
The love of her life is drifting away
                   C                                 
They're losing the fight for another day

The life that she's known is falling apart
             C                      Em                    
A fatherless home, a child's broken heart

Em                 D                          Em7/B

You trying to make - sense of it all

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
                     C             
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
                  D                         Bm          
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
                  C                     
As the little one slips away
Em                  D                           Em7/B
You're holding their hand, you're straining for words

Love Them Like Jesus

intro:

C    G    D   Am7 (x4)

                     C
Is there anyone that fails
                     G 
Is there anyone that falls
                     D                       Am7 
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

                         C  
Cause when I take a look around
                   G
Everybody seems so strong
                    D
I know they'll soon discover
             Am7
That I don't belong

                 C                       G
So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
                   D                                 Am7
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
                  C                     G
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
                 D                         Am7       
So everyone will see me the way that I see them


                     C
Are we happy plastic people
                    G
Under shiny plastic steeples
                      D
With walls around our weakness
                       Am7
And smiles to hide our pain
                        C 
But if the invitation's open
                             G
To every heart that has been broken
                        D
Maybe then we close the curtain
                     Am7
On our stained glass masquerade


                      C  
Is there anyone who's been there
                       G
Are there any hands to raise
                        D
Am I the only one who's traded
                   Am7
In the altar for a stage

                   C  
The performance is convincing
                          G
And we know every line by heart
                    D
Only when no one is watching
                   Am7
Can we really fall apart

                    C
But would it set me free
                      G
If I dared to let you see
                     D
The truth behind the person
                       Am7
That you imagine me to be


                   C
Would your arms be open
                  G
Or would you walk away
                  D
Would the love of Jesus
                      Am7
Be enough to make you stay

                     C
Are we happy plastic people
                    G
Under shiny plastic steeples
                      D
With walls around our weakness
                       Am7
And smiles to hide our pain
                        C 
But if the invitation's open
                             G
To every heart that has been broken
                        D
Maybe then we close the curtain
                     Am7
On our stained glass masquerade

                     C
Is there anyone that fails
                     G 
Is there anyone that falls
                     D                       Am7 
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

People aren't confused by the gospel, They're confused by us.
Jesus is the only way to God but we are not the only way to Jesus This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie, My denomination, or my translation of the bible They just need Jesus We can be passionate about what we believe
but we can't strap ourselves to the gospels Because we're slowing it down. Jesus is going to save the world, but maybe the best thing we can do Is just get out of the way

What This World Needs

intro: Bm D A G (x2 then pause) 
  
Bm                              D
Be careful little eyes what you see
         A                                     
It?s the second glance that ties your hands as 
G
darkness pulls the strings
   Bm                            D
Be careful little feet where you go
             A                               G
For it?s the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

       Bm                 A
It?s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Em             G
It?s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Bm               A                   D
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         G
When you give yourself away
Em                        A
People never crumble in a day
       Bm       D        A        G
It?s a slow fade, it?s a slow fade

   Bm                           D
Be careful little ears what you hear
     A                                 G
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
   Bm                           D
Be careful little lips what you say
    A                             G
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

       Bm                 A
It?s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Em             G
It?s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Bm               A                   D
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
         G
When you give yourself away
Em                        A
People never crumble in a day

    Em                             G
The journey from your mind to your hands
                       Bm       A
Is shorter than you?re think...ing
   Em                            G
Be careful if you think you stand
                  Bm        A
You just might be sink ...ing

       Bm                 A
It?s a slow fade when you give yourself away
       Em             G
It?s a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Bm               A                   D

Voice Of Truth

Verse:  Bm          F#                G#      
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
       F#               Em         F#             Em  F#   
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,

Who am I? That the bright and morning star,
       F#                 Em         F#            Em F#                    
Would choose to light the way, of my ever wondering heart,
       G#            Em       G#                    F#
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
       G#                 F#         Em               F#
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are

Until The Whole World Hears

# Verse 1
Em          G                      D
Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn
                 Am                 Em
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn
Em          G                    D
Facing for sinners death on the cross
             Am                       C
That He might save them from endless loss

# Chorus 
C         G                 D
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
            Em                   C
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
 C            G                   D
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
            Em                 C   G   D
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

# Verse 2
Em          G                      D
"Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed
               Am                Em
Even while His lifeblood flowed fast away
Em          G                     D
Praying for sinners while in such woe
             Am             C
No one but Jesus ever loved so

# Chorus

# Dying for me!!!

# Verse 3

Oh how I love Him, Savior and friend
                 Am                 Em
How can my praises ever find end
Em              G                    D
Through years unnumbered on Heaven's shore
               Am                   C
My songs shall praise Him forevermore

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
