[F#m] [C#m] [F#m] [C#m]
[F#m] [C#m]
It's a hill on a big mountain Right beneath that blue sky
There's a man who died Who the world has needed and [A] believed
Let's bow down my heart and do justice [C#m] And remember the [C#] way he died
But [F#] who's there [E] on his side Who's exiled and died
Being dignity [C#m] centered like me
He won't fade on the road He won't save the world
He's a folk, a man of his word
The cross seems bound It's too long to the crowd
He's a sanctuary to the hill [C#] on the way
I can hear the drums of the hammers swinging
The young men are going to the trees
[C#m] And the cross seems raised from the mountain to the east
On the bench by the dark gallery
[A] Let's bow down my heart and do [C#m] justice
And remember the way he died
[F#] But who's there on his [E] side Who's exiled and died
Being dignity [C#m] centered like me
[A]
[C#m]
He'll be locked in and dead Till his last dying breath
When his friends say they left him on the way
Slowly he'll think still of the dangers
But from him on it he'll walk [G#m] away
When the darkness [E] came down and the rocks went [F#m] around
And the cry of peace [C#m] the sand lay in [F#] air
For the voice of our king who [C#m] received death and died still
To save us from endless [B] despair
[A] [C#m] Let's bow down my heart and do justice
And remember the way he died
[F#] But who's there [E] on his side Who's exiled and died
Being a poor sinner [F#] like me
[C#m] [F#m] [A] [F#m] [A]
[F#m]
[C#m]
[A]
[F#m]
[C#m] But the sun had his face But the earth gave it [E] space
And the men of good and [C#m] savior have said
But behold from the side of the blessed lamb of God
Who's died but is risen [A] again
Let's bow down my heart and do [C#] justice
And remember the day he left me
[F#] But who's there on his [E] side Who's exiled and died
[A] Being a poor sinner [E] like
[G] [F] me
[Am] [N]
[G] Thank you
