Every Grain Of Sand Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

++++++

 In the Dtime of my cG7Monfession, in the Dhour of my deepest G7Mneed

 When the Dpool of tears beG7Mneath my feet Aflood every Asus4newborn Aseed

 There's a Ddyin' voice G7Mwithin me Dreaching out G7Msomewhere,

DToiling in the G7Mdanger and in the Amorals Asus4of despAair.

 Don't have the incliA7nation to look Dback on any Amistake,

 Like Cain, I now A7behold this chain of eDvents that I must Abreak. G

 In the fDury of the G7Mmoment I can Dsee the Master's G7Mhand

 In eDvery leaf that G7Mtrembles, in Aevery A9sus4grain of Dsand.

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,

Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good =

cheer.

The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way

To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame

And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.

Then onward in my journey I come to understand

That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night

In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,

In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,

In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea

Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.

I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man

Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
