Josh Garrels - Rejoice and lament

^DmLearn this lesson well, my ^Ffriend There's a ^Ctime to rejoice and la^Gment ^DmEvery season will find an ^Fend All will ^Cfade and be made new ^Gagain

^DmStanding on the rocks of the railroad tracks Feet ^Fcalloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back As I ^Cgaze upon the unseen winds ^G And they are ^Dmwandering, whispering

From the h^Feart to the mind To the hand to the journal Now the^C kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock And it's^G watered by the winds Having power to unlock and ^Dm Stop the clock of chronologica^Fl logic

That are dead and can't d^Codge it Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty^G One Spirit ill^Dmumines the dark like a fire Revealing the ^Fway that was hidden but is higher Now we must t^Cravel on the wings

Of ^Gsearching the mysteries of God I said ^DmFather the feathers of my wax wings Fall a^Fway by the rising of the sun And I have des^Ccended when I was undone And I will a^Gscend when your Spirit comes Because w^Dmhat's been done and overcome Cannot be stopped by the ^Fpower of any human Like the number of ^Csand we will stand

^GIn the face of an eternal call But those who ^Dmcall on His name

In the g^Fuilt and the shame And the world full of blame And all the ^Cbloody stains

^GI learned all men suffer the same Because ^Dmwe're wayward sons

Our ^Ffoolish hearts and our selfish ways But if ^Cwe would turn to the Father's grace We would ^Gnever be the same This is an ^Dmunseen land of a devastated soul That's prepared in ^Fcontemplative silence For the mighty^C working hand of an unseen Lord To come res^Gtore this land from its violence I said w^Dalk another ^Dmmile ^FStare across the fields of grain ^CThis is how the prophets train ^G

Le^Dmarn this lesson well my fri^Fend The^Cre's a time to rejoice and la^Gment Eve^Dmry season will find an e^Fnd All will f^Cade and be made new ag^Gain
