[C] [Em]
My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my [D] heart is great.
[Em] And my spirit [G] sings that the wondrous [Em] things that you bring to the one to wake.
[G] You fixed your [D] sight on your servant's plight, and my weakness you did not slurred.
[Em] So from east to [G] west shall my name be [Em] blessed, and the world be about to turn.
[G] My heart shall [D] sing of the day you [C] bring, and the voice of your [D] justice burn.
[Em] Wipe away all [G] tears, for the dawn draws [Em] near, and the world is about to turn.
Though I am [C] small, my God, my all, you worked great [D] things in me.
[Em] And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be.
[G] Your very [D] name was a proud to [C] shame, and for those who were [D] for you yearned.
[Em] You will show your might with a strong new [C] fight, for the world is [Em] about to turn.
[G] My heart shall [D] sing of the day you bring, and the voice of your justice [Em] burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws [E] near, and the world is [Em] about to turn.
[G] [D]
[Em] From the halls of power to the fortress [C] tower, not a stone will be [D] left [Em] unstoled.
Let the king [G] beware, for your justice tears every tyrant [Em] from his throne.
[G] The hungry [D] poor shall weep no [Em] more, for the food they can [D] never earn.
[E] There are cables [G] spread, every mouth be fed, for the world is [Em] about to turn.
[G] My heart shall [D] sing of the day you [Em] bring, let the fire of your [D] justice burn.
[Em] Wipe away all [C] tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is [E] about to turn.
[G] [D]
[Em] [D] [Em] [G]
[C] [E] [Em] Though the nations [C] rage from age to [E] age, we remember who [D] holds us fast.
[E]
God's mercy must deliver us from the conqueror's crushing grasp.
[G] This saving [D] word that our forebears [C] heard is the promise which [D] holds us bound.
[Em] Till the spear and rod can be crushed by God who is turning the world around.
[G] My heart shall [D] sing of the day you [Em] bring, let the fire of [D] your justice [Em] burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn.
[G] My heart shall [D] sing of the day you [Em] bring, let the fire of your [D] justice burn.
[Em] Wipe away all [C] tears, for the dawn [D] draws near, and the world is about [Em] to turn.
