Chords for Peace by Jason Upton

_ _ _ _ And I wanna know your heart
[F] Like _ _ [Eb] _ a child knows his father
_ _ _ [Gm] _ And I wanna know your voice
_ [Eb] Like my little boy knows my voice
_ _ [Bb] _ And I hear you at a [Fm] distance
_ _ [Eb] _ When the world can't make it out
[Eb] I can hear it coming
Your [Bb] voice, oh father
Your voice, [F] oh father
[Eb] A still small voice _
_ _ _ I wanna hear your voice, oh [Gm] father
Even when it seems [F] at a distance _ _
_ _ When people [Eb] think I'm crazy
_ _ [Bb] For thinking I can hear you _
_ [F] _ _ _ I wanna know your voice, oh father
_ I [F] wanna hear it coming
_ _ _ _ [Eb] I wanna be the first around the corner
_ [Bb] Take your hand and walk with [F] you
_ _ _ [Eb] To the chair that you have
Sit down on your lap and [Bb] hold on
_ [C] _ _ Sometimes that's all [Eb] we do as children
Is just hear your voice come running around the corner
And [Bb] hold on
Sometimes that's what it feels like to be a child of God
Is just holding on
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] And I declare over you the enemy's camp tonight
Is not fearful of a generation
[F] Puffed up with Christian pride
_ _ But [Eb] a childlike generation
All he knows how to do
Is [Bb] hold on _
_ _ [F] _ I [Bb] wanna hold on to you, father
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] More than I run and play or dance [Eb] around
_ _ I wanna [F] hold on to you, father
Sit on your lap and hear your voice
[Eb] Whisper [Bbm] over me
In _ [G] the midst of the storm
[Bb] Peace _ _
_ _ _ [F] Oh, I give you peace
_ _ [Dm] The strength [Eb] of the generation _
_ _ _ _ [D] Is peace
And _ [F] _ [Bb] Jesus said I wanna give you peace, oh children
_ _ [F] Oh, the peace that comes
Beyond the understanding
[Eb] Oh, the peace that comes _
_ [Bb] Unknowing the whisper of a father _ _
_ [F] _ _ I give you peace _
In the midst of your brokenness
I give [F] you peace
In the midst of your emptiness
I [Eb] give you peace _
In the midst of the moments when you feel so [Bb] dry
I give you peace
I [F] give you peace, oh yeah
I [Bb] give you peace
When you feel you can't go on
I give you [F] peace
When rejection's far too much
I [Eb] give you peace
When the shame, the shame
[Bb] Is too unbearable
And the [F] words seem so cruel
I give you, I give [Bb] you peace _
The times you're damned, oh
I give [F] you peace
The times for you I [Bb] feel, oh
I give you peace _ _
_ _ _ Peace of the mind _
Holding on
I [C] _ [Bb] wanna see The clouds
The [Eb] clouds coming _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ When no one else sees the clouds
I wanna [F] see rain's coming _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Give me eyes of father
And faith like a child
The ability to feel the [Bb] same
And know it
See [G] it coming now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I [Bb] wanna see you coming _
_ _ Oh, the world, I wanna see you [F] coming
I _ [G] _ wanna [Eb] know you're coming _
Over the armies, over the wars
I know [Bb] you're coming, yeah
Come [G] and rescue me, yeah
I know [Bb] you're coming, yeah
In the midst of the trial, yeah
I know [G] you're coming, yeah
In the midst of the circumcised
I know [Gm] you're coming _ _
_ _ _ So [Bb] I'll wait _
_ _ _ _ And restlessness is only that
Of a child waiting [Bbm] for his death
[F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] Shaking on the [Eb] inside
_ _ _ Can't wait [Bb] till you come home _
_ _ _ [F] Can't wait till you [Eb] come home
_ _ _ Can't wait till you come [Bb] home
_ Oh, yeah, yeah
Can't wait till you come [F]
home
Give me the faith [C] of a child
Where the restlessness [Eb] inside
Is just waiting to see you, father
Before anyone else [Bb] sees you
Waiting to hear you, father
Your voice is still off in the distance
I hear you coming
_ _ _ I [F] can hear you coming
_ _ _ _ Your kingdom [Bb] is coming
_ _ _ I wanna be with you _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
