Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
x2
Father, Father come to me now
for I am needy of your mercy
Holy mercies firm and sure
from eternity the same
to eternity endure, endure
Let the ransom now rejoice
the ones called out among the nations
now the people of his choice
Sing of his name
all expanse of land and sea
all that swim and all that breathe
His glory's painted
on the branches of the trees
in the changing of the leaves
Let the elders speak his name
let us hear the ancient tales
let us mourn for how we've failed
Let the children now rejoice
when it falls upon their ears
the proclamations of God's voice
As long as life beats in these shells
keep your words upon our lips
and living water in our wells, yeah
Our hands are raised
calling out to be redeemed
from certain death's eternity
Give us new names
keep us ever close to thee
once enslaved and now made free, yeah
