Chords for Sojourn Water And The Blood movie.m4v

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ Worship should help people prepare for their encounter with death. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Life is full of suffering.
Life is full of
hard times and challenges.
And if the church can gather in the midst of those
hard times and acknowledge their suffering together
and through that see how Jesus is the cure
to all of that disease and to all of that pain, it's a beautiful thing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ One of the sins of our generation is
kind of this _ narcissistic search for the novel and the new.
And the gift of Isaac Watts [Ab] is the gift of being a part of the [E] historical church. _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] Absent from flesh,
O blissful thought, [E] what joy this moment [B] _
brings.
About 250 years ago in England, Isaac Watts really transformed the whole
culture [E] of worship.
He could tell that worshippers in the churches didn't
understand what [D] they were singing.
_ So he endeavored in this [Em] task to begin to rewrite the Psalms
in English, in poetry that was passionate, that was beautiful.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ There is value in being connected [D] to history.
And in fact the [Ab] ideals and the topics that Isaac Watts dealt with as he wrote
these [Em] songs as a pastor are timeless.
Lord, we _
[G] confess our [Em] _ many [C] _ _
faults,
[D] and how great our [Em] guilt is.
_ We had a whole lot of people involved in the record.
We probably had
[C] more than a dozen people involved in writing
and then another whole dozen people involved in [Bm] recording, singing,
and playing on the [Em] record.
We recorded the record live in the studio. _
[G] So most of what you hear when you hear these records are
single takes, single performances.
The idea to record it live
was a decision made so [C] that the [G] music would be more organic.
Our goal was to get something that really kind of captured the essence of
what we try to do when we gather here at Sojourn.
There's something about recording live that captures
the emotion.
Especially dealing [C] with the song topics of Isaac Watts
and [D] the themes of troubles, sin, and [Bm] battling against your [Em] flesh. _ _
[G] But by the _ mercy [D] of our [Em] _ God,
[G] all of [C] our homes [A] began.
_ [C] And by [G] the _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ loss of our souls, [C] we watch [A] from _ there.
_ _ [Bm] Death Is Lost at [Am] Sing is this lament, [G] this crying out of suffering.
And the psalmist didn't say a specific thing,
but just the [Gm] feeling of being attacked on all sides. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My dad _ _ [Cm] suddenly passed [Gm] away of cancer.
_ _ Basically [G] the [Gm] week that we were recording this record,
my husband and I thought, [D]
[G] we're going to have to bow out.
There's no way we can do [Gm] this. _
_ _ _ _ There's [F] nothing that we've experienced [Gm] that Christ hasn't experienced himself.
He grieves along with us.
He suffers along with us.
_ _ _ _ My God, how many _ [Cm] are _ _
[Gm] my fears?
How _ fast my _ foes [D] increase. _ _
It might sound kind of [G] strange to say this, but [Gm] being with him as he died
[C] [Cm] was [Gm] such an act of worship for my [Bb] family,
_ because [D] his death [Gm] means that he's in glory with the Lord. _
[Bb] I _ know, _ Lord, to [D] _ fulfill your [Gm] _ grace, [Bb]
while I'll _ _ _ [D] be _ _ seen.
_ [Eb] _ My God _ has brought [Cm] the _ _
[Gm] serpent's teeth, _ [Bb] and _ death [D] has lost [Gm] its sting. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
If I say something to you that's true, it [E] may not have the same weight
or the same emotional response [B] as if I sing it to you.
The CD [Eb] has become [Dbm] the modern [Bm] hymnal.
It's been a privilege to steward [A] his words
and make them [Db] accessible in a new [Bm] sound to a new [B] generation.
When we gather [A] for worship, we sort of gather in exile.
We gather [Am] in the midst of suffering.
[B] We gather in the midst of life's challenges.
And [Dbm] Christ is the [E] hope.
The gospel is [B] the hope that sustains us in the midst of that
and that [A] points to that [B] one glorious day when he returns and all of [Bm] that ends. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ God in glory shine [N] to one _ eternal day.
_ I hope people come away from this project seeing Christ as more beautiful
and the gospel as something that's worth [B] singing and worth celebrating. _
[A] I love you, Jesus!
[E] _ _ [B] _ _
You poor, you [A] poor, [E] you poor, you [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] poor. _ _ _ _
