Beyond Justice To Mercy Chords by Susan Ashton

_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I know we don't [G#m] see eye to [F#] _ eye
_ _ _ We've [C#] let angry hearts flare
[C#m] And the bitter words [B] _ fly _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ The common ground we used to share _ _ _ _ _
Is harder to find but [B] I believe that it's still [F#] there _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't know if [C#] now is the [F#] _ time
_ _ _ To [G#] surrender the silence [E] between your heart and [B] mine
_ But _ _ _ [F#] the love that [G#] I've chosen [F#] cries out to be [B] spoken
[G#m] Leaving [F#] the heartache behind
We [B] _ _ _ [G#] must reach out beyond justice to [F#] _ mercy _
_ _ _ [G#] Going more _ _
_ _ [G#m] to [F#] forgive _ _
[B] _ _ And [D#m] though the distance seems so far
[F#] The [B] love that used to hold [F#] our hearts
Longs [G#m] to take [F#] us beyond justice to _ [B] mercy _
[F#] _ _ _ It _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ doesn't matter [D#] who's to [F#] _ blame _
_ _ _ [C#] The love that I have [E] for you is still the [B] same
_ A _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ tender voice [C#] is calling me _ _ _
_ _ To [C#] that place of compassion [E] where hearts run pure and [B] free _ _ _
_ _ Where [F#] the hunger [G#m] for vengeance [F#] gives way to [B] repentance
[G#m] Where [F#] love will teach [B] us to _ see
_ _ [G#m] We can reach out beyond justice to [F#] _ mercy _ _ _ _
[C#] Going more _ _ _ [G#] to [F#] _ forgive
_ [B] _ _ And [D#m] though the distance seems [G#] so far
The [B] love that used to hold [F#] our hearts
Longs [G#m] to take [F#] us [B] beyond justice [F#] _
to [B] mercy
_ [C#] _ [F#] _ _
[G#] To mercy
_ _ [G#m] _ _
[F#] To mercy
_ _ _ We [G#] can reach out [G#m] beyond [B] justice to [F#] _ mercy _ _ _ _
[G#] Going more _ _ [G#m] _ _ to [F#] _ [A#m] forgive
_ [B] _ _ And [D#m] though the distance seems so far
The [B] love that used to hold [F#] our hearts
Longs [G#m] to take [F#] us [B] beyond justice [G#] _
[F#] to [B] mercy
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
