River
Tim Hartnett
[C] [Dm] [F] [C] [G]
[C]A great stone in the [Dm]river, [F]blackened by the water’s [C]flow[G]
[C]Parts the current in the [Dm]middle, [F]‘til it rejoins down be[C]low[G]
You can cross where the old tree is down, or you can let- your feet- get wet
But what you lose to the river, you never will forget [F]
[C] [F] [C] [G] (twice)
Oooo
The sun is down behind the hill, but I’m not sure when I’ll leave
‘Cause something keeps me at the water’s edge, when I know I have to grieve
[C]‘Cause the clouds have darkened[Dm] in the sky. [F]I fear more rain is on the [G]way
And all I have is this river, that takes everything away. [F]
Oooo
Should I tell you about the one I loved? Should I whisper that sweet name?
And pour more tears in the water, to mix with the rain
[C]Well I could really use a [Dm]friend right now, [F]who is not afraid to [G]stay
[C]With me beside a [Dm]river, [F]that takes everything a[C]way[G] [F]
Oooo
Canyon Prayer
Tim Hartnett
I have [G]come once a[D]gain to the [C]rock at the edge of the [G]rim
Where the [Em]hawk can lie [C]still in the [D]sky
Be[G]low the canyon [D]wall almost [C]beckons me to [G]fall
With a [Em]promise on the [C]wind that I would [D]fly
[C]I came here to [Am]be with you [F]to listen and to [G]pray
[C]To lay between the [Am]flat red rock [F]and the sun on my [G]skin
[F]Lost in the [G]heat seeping [Bm]into both muscle and [Em]bone
‘Til I’m [Am]grateful to drink of your [C]water and cool down a[D]gain
I know I will not last and everything I know will pass
Every prisoner in the end is set free
Each breath is a song, and we only breathe for so long
So I will let you sing through me
Instrumental: G-cd Bm Em-dc B7 C G Dsus4
In truth I came to this ledge ‘cause my life has come to an edge
And I will not go on alone.
On one side, an abyss, on the other, all that I’d miss
No matter which way I turn, I will go home.
I came here to be with you to listen and to pray
Through the sand and sage of a riverbed of some long ago day
Where the trail meets the sky and the wind rising up the canyon wall
In a voice that could only be yours calls out my name
So I go to the light, the only place my heart feels right
And I pick up a stone where I stand
Separation I cast, leaving only what I know will last
And I lay my life in your hands
‘Til the rock in my bones blows as free as the sands
I lay my life in your hands
You Are With Me
Andrew Davis
Dm Am G Am
Dm Am G Am
No one sees the stones at the bottom of the river.

But those stones give it direction and send it on its way.
Dm Am G Am
No one sees the gentle love and kindness
F C G
Than made me who I am and that brought me here today.
Chorus:
C F C
In the quiet of the morning I hear you.
C Am G
In the sunlight of the day I see you.
C G Am F
In the cool of the night I gather you around me.
C G C
You are with me, you are with me.
Dm Am G Am / Dm Am G
Dm Am G Am
You reach out with my hands, you look out through my eyes.
F C G
You are in my blood you are in my bone.
Dm Am G Am
You were my first touch, my first and deepest loss.
F C G
It’s my turn now to bring you home.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
F C
So many years since we said our last goodbye
Dm G
But I still carry you in my heart and in my dreams
F C
And when I join you we both shall be carried
Dm G
In the hearts of children’s children who we have never seen.
(Chorus)
Repeat last line
Under The Moon
Tim Hartnett
Verse: [C]Under the moon, by the [F]fire[C]light
At the [F]change of the [G]season
[C]There’s not a heart that will be [F]left out to[C]night
Not for [F]any [C]reason
[C]When the dancers be[F]come the [C]dance
And the [F]singers are the [G]song
[C]Under it all is the [F]beat of the [C]drum
Carrying [F]all of us a[C]long
Bridge: [F]Only the [G]love that [C]burns in[F]side
[F]Can guide us [G]in this [C]life

Can [Am]hold us [F]all to[G]night
Chorus:
[C]We are [G]all going [F]home in the [C]morning
[Am]Rising [G]up in the [F]light[G]
So [C]now while we [G]still have the [F]time of our [C]lives
Let’s [F]sing and [G]dance all [C]night.
Instrumental Verse (one) & Bridge
In this circle of human hearts
A prayer is dancing around
Like naked feet on the naked earth
Rising up from the ground
And when our voices can sing no more
And our bodies cry for rest
Pass the torch to the young and strong
And our children will be blessed
[F]Only the [G]love that [C]burns in[F]side
[F]Can guide us [G]in this [C]life
[F]Only that [G]love, and [Em]nothing [Dm]else [retard]
Can [Am]hold us [F]all to[G]night
[C]We are [G]all going [F]home in the [C]morning
[Am]Rising [G]up in the [F]light[G]
So [C]now while we [G]still have the [F]time of our [C]lives
Let’s [F]sing and [G]dance all [Am]night, All [E]night, All [F]night, All [G]night
Repeat Bridge, then jam on:

The Pull
Amy Cooper
Intro: C G Am
C G
I’m taking a ride with you
F G
Don’t know where we’re going
C G
The autumn sky is blue
F G
And the leaves are turning
Dm C G Am
And the air is full, so we breathe it in
Dm C G F
And I feel the pull to my knees again
I’m letting go of you
Don’t know what I’m doing
But it’s the right thing to do
And I feel we’re shifting
And our love is full, so we breathe it in
And I feel the pull to my knees again
Oh God, give me strength
To release this feeling
Let me have the Truth
Let me have You with me
Let my cup be full, let me breathe again
Help me feel the pull, to my knees again
F G C F
Know that I am lost, know that I am scared
G C F
Know that I’d pay the cost, just to have You here
G
Oh God, help me through this
C F
I’ll surrender to you now
G
I’ll give my life to you
C F
If you’ll only show me how

Oh God, lend your Grace to me
F
I will follow humbly

Wrap me in your arms and hold me…..Hold me.
Breath of Sky
Tim Hartnett
D G
You took a breath of sky, and let it go
You took a breath of sky, and let it go
A G A D G D
And you gave me everything, that I need to know
You took your own sweet time, getting over the hill
You took your own sweet time, getting over the hill
And if freedom ever would, I know you will.
A G D
Everytime, that I sing to you
A G Bm A
All that I am, I bring to you.
You took only what you had, when you came to this place
You took only what you had, when you came to this place
And you said, “Life is not a meal. It is just a taste.”
Everytime, that you sing to me
All that I am, returns to me.
You took a breath of sky, and let it go
You took a breath of sky, and let it go
And you gave me everything, that I need to know
Pirate Ship
Amy Cooper
Capo 2nd fret
D G D G
Send me a pirate ship, with tattered sails and worn floorboards.
D G D G
Sail me across the sea, to your rocky shore.
A Em A Em
And I will walk the plank for you. I will walk it slow and blind.
A Em A Em
And you can watch faithfully, as your ship leaves me behind.
D G Em A
Cause I know how to swim, in these waters ‘round your shore.
D G Em A
And I am not afraid, of the ocean floor
Just let me know you’re there for me, with your loving grin.
And I’ll stay here in the sea, ‘til your tide pulls me in.
The sea has always been my home. I know it well my dear.
Though on dry land I may roam, I belong out here.
Cause I know how to swim, in these waters ‘round your shore.
And I am not afraid, of the ocean floor.
Only Love
Tim Hartnett
Drop D Tuning
No capo
When the rain has beat down on the roof all night
When our eyes are still wary of the light
And we send the bad dreams back where they came from
When the tallest trees are first kissed by the sun
When nothing really can be said for sure
Cause the dawn has opened up a whole new world
There is only love. There is only love.
When the hand in your pocket holds a polished stone
When you’re tired and you’re lost and you want just to be home
When the rabbit checks for shadows in the sky
And we work on the how of a long forgotten why
When the trail begins to head out of the wood
And someone somewhere shouts out something good
There is only love. There is only love.
When I’ easy as the colors on the trees
When there’s stories blowing on the autumn breeze
When the deer go to their secret place to sleep
And the back door opens with that familiar creak
When you’re standing where I always knew you’d be
When I’ve lost track of what’s you and what is me
There is only love. There is only love.
In the clearing when the owl has found her prey
When things change so fast, when pain won’t go away
When darkness presses on the window pane
And it scares me to be only flesh and name
When I’m still enough and the silence reaches deep
When the time comes and there’s nothing I can keep
There is only love. There is only love.
From "Our Time to Be"

Let the water wash the slate again

I was lost and did not know

Verse 2:
Touch the Sky
Touch the ground
Reach for heaven and bring it down
I was lost and did not know

Thank You
Amy Cooper
Capo 2 Intro: C/Em
[C]The candle [Em] flickers
[Am]A breeze blows [Em] gently through the [C] room
An open [Em] window
[Am] The smell of [Em] honeysuckle [Dm] blooms
The sound of [C] crickets
[F] The darkness of the [G] night
The clock is ticking
It counts the hours I lie awake
My heart is beating
Reminding me just what’s at stake
I am living
My life is what I make
Chorus: F/G/C/Am
Thank you for my life
Thank you for all the love
Thank you for watching me
Thank you for not ever leaving me
Thank you for rainy days
Thank you for shooting stars
Thank you for dragonflies
Thank you for mysteries
Instrumental Bridge: F/Em/Em7/F/Am Em/F/F/G/G
Life has a meaning
It’s anything that you believe
Love wants to happen
I am open to receive
The greatest treasure
The deepest love there is
Chorus
Knocking
Amy Cooper
C G D Em C G D
I want my soul to feel the fire from within
If I could only know myself
Then maybe I could rise above this bitter wind
That’s got me achin’ to the bone
I’ve come so far and yet the road goes on and on
Thought I had learned all there was to know
But the winds they shifted, a summer breeze to an autumn chill
And now I’m standin’ here alone
Em C
Why am I so hungry?
Who can feed my soul?
Who can stop this yearning?
Em F
Who can make me whole?
D Em
Where does the darkness end
Where does the light begin?
When can I see your face?
When will I feel your grace?
C G D Em C G D
I rest within these words, though weary I’ve become
They’re what I feel and what I know
Though I may never have the courage to reveal
A deeper truth, a greater song
And I know that by your grace and by your will
I will find my way back home
Though I’m stranded now, I know it won’t be long
Till I am knockin’ at your door
'Til Day Breaks
Tim Hartnett
I’ll stay with [G]you ‘til you’re asleep
No [Em]matter how long it takes
I’ll be [C]right by your [D]side
‘Til day [G]breaks
For I know that fear
Rides on the mist at night
And it takes a warm body near
To feel alright
[D]Someday you will [C]leave this home
[G]And set out on your [D]own
And I only hope you remember this
Whenever you’re alone.
I will hold you when you cry
No matter how long it takes
There’s nothing else I need to do
‘Til day breaks
For I know that your smile
Is right behind your tears
And you just need somebody here
To feel alright
Someday I’ll see a photograph
Of the innocence in your eyes
And there’s no dam that can hold the flood
When it comes my time to cry
Feel my breath, soft and slow
First it gives and then it takes
Rest your head upon my chest
‘Til day breaks
I can feel the love
That filled my heart when you were born
And I know that we both
Will be alright
The Heart Outside
Mike Weaver
Capo 3
V1
You [G] ask me if I’d die
To save the [G4/C] thing that I believe in.
As if [G] that’s the truest measure
Of [G4/C] one’s love for another.
I say [Am] yes if it would save you
I’d die [G] three or four times over, but
I’d [F] have to look behind each time
To see [E] what I was leavin’
Chorus
We are the [A] dust of ancient star forms
We are the [E] quiver of a leaf. We will
[F#m] roar with the pain of mountains
When we [D] awaken from our sleep
There is no [A] line of separation
Yet we’ve [E] forgotten all the rest
And the [F#m] heart that’s [E] slowly
[D] breaking (retard)
Is the [C#7] one outside our [F#m] chest
[Instr] F#m D F#m D
V2
Can any of us [G] remember
How it [G4/C] felt to be relations
With the [G] flutter in the treetops
With the [G4/C] stones along the river
When our [Am] deep compassion left us
Did we [G] give a little shiver
Did we [F] feel it leave our bodies
Did we [E] grieve the separation
Chorus 2
We are the [A] dust of ancient star forms
We are the [E] quiver of a leaf
We will [F#m] roar with the pain of mountains
When we [D] awaken from our sleep
And the [A] poison in the oceans
Will be [E] ours to help digest
But can our [F#m] hearts be [E] tuned to
[D] listen (retard)
To the [C#7] one outside our [F#m] chest
[Instr] F#m D F#m Bm Em D C
V3
And so I [G] ask of you in turn:
Must I [G4/C] die to be a lover
To [G] awake from this enchantment
And be [G4/C] reborn into creation?
Listen [Am] carefully, you whisper,
To join the [G] dance of celebration
[F] Remove yourself from off your throne,
And [E] give it to another
Chorus
For you’re the [A] dust of ancient star forms
you are the [E] quiver of a leaf
You will [F#m] roar with the pain of mountains
when you [D] awaken from your sleep
There is no [A] line of separation
But you’ve [E] forgotten all the rest, and the
[F#m] heart you’re [E] slowly [D] breaking
(no retard)
Is the [E7] one outside your [A] chest.
There is no [A] line of separation,
I will [E] remember all the rest
And [F#m] open my [E] small [D] heart
To the [C#7] one outside my [F#m] chest
On This Day
Tim Hartnett
C Am7 F CG
C Am7 F G
Am Em F CG
Am Em Am Em
F G pause
On this day I return to what I know
Find the old road that I travelled as a child
Through the gateway trees on a summer morning breeze
To a small hill top under a great big sky
On this day I know I’m going home
I rest here until I hear the soft drum
Beat to the wings of geese that fly beyond the sun
Like water in my hand, the torn pieces of the plan
Float like snow and settle on the land
And rest until I know I’m going home.
C F Fm C
Fm /C (four times)
Each soul is carried
By a wind that blows on and on
Each soul is carried
Til we find where we belong
Take my hand and tell me where you’re from
We will walk and walk and walk until we come
To a valley we both know, though it was so long ago
Take my hand. I’m afraid to go alone
Even though I know we’re going home.
I Found You
Tim Hartnett
Drop D tuning
Verse 1:
D G D
As far as I can see, I see you
D G D
Even where nobody goes, I see you
Bm A
Way out on a desert rock
Bm A D
And way up on a mountain top
A G D
I found you, I found you, I found you.
Verse 2:
And when I close my eyes, I hear you.
Even when there is not a sound, I hear you.
In the voice that’s singing through me now
Whispering just like a sacred vow
I found you, I found you, I found you.
Instrumental verse
Verse 3:
In the newborn eyes of my baby girl twenty years ago, I met you
And I swear one time in the bathroom mirror, unexpectedly, I met you
And when my mother smiled on me the last time
Knowing she would leave us behind
I found you, I found you, I found you.
I found you, I found you, I found you.
Butterfly
Andrew Davis
Capo 3
G D C D G
My little girl found a butterfly, Yellow and black with small spots of blue.
G D C D G
A tear in one wing like a blue jay might make, it lay on the ground alone and confused.
C G C Am D
Without hesitation she held out her hand. Without hesitation it climbed on and stayed.
G D C D G
For hours ‘til the end of that spring afternoon, my girl and her butterfly played.
C D G Em C D
Now anyone older than five would know that a butterfly would someday go
C D G Em C Am D
But I found her later, a face full of tears, singing this song in her little voice clear:
G Am
Butterfly come back. Butterfly come back.
C D G
Come back butterfly to me.
G Am
If the jay didn’t eat you, if you can still hear me,
C D G
Come back butterfly to me.
G D C D G
She cried in my arms like the day she was born, so trusting and pure in her heart.
G D C D G
I felt I could hold her forever that way, but her grief soon was finished, she went back to the yard
C G C D
All these moments flow through my hands like water, but in each moment I’m richer than kings
G D C D G
This child is as precious as breathing, soft as a feather, strong as a wing
C D G Em C D
Now anyone old as I should know that a little girl would someday grow
C G Em C Am D
But here I am a face full of tears, singing her song, looking back on the years.
(Chorus)
Carved in Stone
Tim Hartnett
A/A6/A/A6/Bm/E
There’s a call from the moon tonight
I listen here in the sacred light
There’s a promise that I made to you
No matter what life puts us through
Bridge
In the glow you lay softly
I breathe the dreams you send to me
And by the moon I know
The raven’s cry is far away
And we will rise to another day
So don’t be scared, you are not alone
For my choice, it is carved in stone
Lay Me Down
Tim Hartnett
Capo 3
Verse 1:
G D
Lay me down for a while
Em C
‘Neath the shade of a cottonwood tree
Am C
These swollen feet need a break
D G
And my soul needs a chance to breathe
Verse 2:
Let this rock be my bed
Let my mind go where it’s led
While my Spirit climbs the breeze
And finds the sky above these trees
Instrumental Verse
Bridge:
C G
I could lie here for a million years
Em D
Or I could just get up and go
C G G/F# Em (pause)
But I can’t be all that you want me to be
C (bass note only) D
A million times I’ve told you so
Verse 3:
Will you join, me in flight
Above the trees, in the clear sunlight
Where an outstretched wing, can ride the breeze
And there’s room, for all our dreams
Francesco
Tim Hartnett
Long a[D]go the town of Asissi
Sent a [D/C] young man off to [D]war
They say the battlefield made him crazy
And he [D/C]ran back to his mother’s [D]door
Crying, “The [G]Lord has made me an [D]instrument.
And [G]I am just like a little [D]bird.”
And he [A]spoke only of [G]love
With all of his [D]words.
But this young man was cast out
When he tried to give his father’s wealth away.
So barefoot in the countryside
Francesco found another way.
He said, “I cannot serve two masters,
So I must make a simple choice.”
And he spoke only of love
With all of his voice.
Well, we all know Francesco
For he lives in every soul.
And in the birds outside your window
Whose songs can make you whole.
For every creature is a blessing.
And each life a precious work of art.
So sing only of love
With all of your heart.
So sing only of love
With all of your heart.

[Bb]Waves roll [C]on endless and [Dm]free

Carry Me
Tim Hartnett
Verse: Am / G / F / F /
It’s been three years since I heard your voice
Where did you go?
I saw you walking in a dream last night
Along a river we both know
And where you lead I will follow
Though I cannot know why
You are the wind that lifts me
And my wings know only to fly
Chorus: C / G / Am / F /
Oh river, carry me
Down the mountain, carry me
Away with you, Away with you
Oh Oh carry me
Gone are the days of the biting cold
Gone is the house in the snow
I left you both by the frozen lake
The year that I let it all go
But now you walk in the silence
And I want you walking with me
So I am drawn to follow
Like a river is drawn to the sea
Chorus
Bridge: G / Am / Bm / C / G / Am / C (pause) / D
Wait for me, I know I left you
After taking all that you gave
Yes, I left you, but now
I wanna come home
Slow Chorus

I Hear a Song
Tim Hartnett
Dm / C
I hear a song in my bones, in my bones, in my bones
It’s running through me in my blood, in my blood, in my blood
Rising up from below, rising from where, I don’t know
But I hear a song in my bones, in my bones, in my bones
Pre-Chorus:
Am / Em / Am / Em / Am / Em / Dm / G
And with each breath, strong and slow
I can hold it in, or let it go
Chorus:
F / C / G / C
And sometimes I sing of all the love I know
F / C / Dm / G
And sometimes I sing to help my tears flow
F / C / G / Am
And sometimes I sing to welcome Spirit in
F / G / C
And sometimes I just sing
Verse 2:
I heard you singing in my dream, all alone, in my dream
And so I’m trusting you are here, you are here, you are here
My chest is longing for your hand; for the touch of your hand
Cause I heard you singing in my dream, all alone, in my dream
And with each breath, rising
I can hold you out, or let you in
Verse 3:
In my heart I hear a drum, steady on, hear the drum
Here with my people of the dance, of the dance , of the dance
Voices rising with the fire, in the smoke, to the sky
In my heart I hear a drum, steady on, hear the drum
And with each breath, deep and proud
I can hold it in, or sing it loud.

There's [C]two old geysers in the truck up ahead
They're a[F]bout the age of my [C]dad.
There's a [F]World War II bomber etched in their rear win[C]dow
A memory they [G]share, I never had.
They're [C]driving kind of slow and I'd [F]really like to pass
But the [Dm]road is very [G]winding, it's not [F]safe to go too [C]fast. [G]
Now I had long hair and a leather head-band
And I was in sixth]grade
When my oldest sister's boyfriend got shipped off to Viet Nam.
[C]I swore I'd go to Canada be[F]fore I'd ever fight[C]
And I [F]hated Richard [Dm]Nixon
I hated [G]him with all my [C]might.
(Turn-around)
My dad was in the Navy and he never killed a man
But he saw the bloody bodies as they littered the beach sand.
He doesn't like to think about it, he just shakes his head
But he [Dm]told me once about a [G]day in France
That left a [F]million young men [C]dead. [G]
So I know war is wrong
And I think I'm pretty smart
But I have never felt the fear of Hitler grab my heart.
And these two guys ahead, they may have saved me from that horror
Their [Dm]courage then to [G]steel themselves
They [F]still claim as their [C]honor. [G]
(Turn-around)
So when we hit a straight-away
And I pass them on the left
I catch their eye as I speed by
My chest draws a deep breath
They don't know I'm thanking them for 60 years ago
We both know things the other one may never come to know.
My [F]father fought for freedom and he [C]gave it all to me
It's this [Dm]freedom that I [G]stand upon as [F]I now fight for [C]peace.
This is My Prayer
Kerin Meri
Capo 1
Verse: F C Dm G F C G
Daddy did you know it would be this way? I cry for you every day.
And when I don’t, I simply say. “I need to cry today.”
I prey that I can forgive you and learn what you had to teach
But I am left yearning to know, what did you learn from me?
Now you are gone and there are gifts that come. You are here in the song.
Chorus: C G F C
This is my prayer
This is my prayer This is my prayer I don’t want to forget
This is my prayer This is my prayer And it brings me peace inside
Am G F C
It brings me my breath It brings me my joy
One day I won’t be angry anymore
There are some words that you’d never say
And I need to say them for me
Bridge: CGFC
I need to know you’re sorry for the ways you let me down
I need to know you’re proud of the woman I have become
Couldn’t you have told me how you felt before you left
To give me something I can hold on to.
Verse 2: F C Dm G FCG
My brother and I stood on the beach with your ashes in our hands
We looked up to the sky. We spoke out to the sea, and we said “goodbye”
Of all the words I had to say, these meant the most to me:
“I’m sorry Dad, I didn’t stand up to you…. I was afraid
Maybe we’d never ever agree, at least we’d know where we stand,
And I wouldn’t wonder, did you ever know who I am.
Chorus
Post Chorus:
Am Em Dm Am
For me for me, I just need to say them for me
For me for me, I just need to sing them for me
Verse 3: F C Dm G FCG
Oh life will never be the same, I am facing my pain
Don’t try to take it away my friends, just let me be
Look me in the eyes, as I cry, and witness me.
Chorus
Let it Burn
Tim Hartnett
Capo 3
C F C
We came from the coast, God knows why
G
Needed a place to let the smoke up to the sky
C F C C G F
We all came together to let it all fall away. To dance and to play
We met on the playa, the ancient lake
There were dreams to live and love to make
I looked you in the eye, and set you free. Free to find your destiny
C Dm G hamony: g ga a
Let it Burn. It’s all on fire anyway
C Dm G
Let it Burn. Cause holding on won’t make it stay
F Em Dm G f e d g
Let it burn, burn, burn, burn.
Dm G a g
And if you’re still here tomorrow
Dm G
When the smoke has blown away…
Dm G C F C F a g fe
Must be we were meant to love another day
C F C
I stood at the temple, read every wall
G
Some were filled with pictures, sometimes a few words said it all
C F C
Like I loved you when we met, and I love you still today.
C C G F
Though my love is the only thing the cancer did not take away.
C F C
And “My dad,” someone wrote. “I tryin’ to forgive you.
G
And here and now, I must break through.
C F C G F
So wherever you are your angry son is asking you, ‘Dad… will you forgive me too?’”
Chorus
Bridge: Dm G C F
There is nothing stopping us in the orange firelight
Dm G Em F G
Take what’s been protecting you and leave it, right here, tonight

Healing Waters
Tim Hartnett
Drop D tuning
G /F#m /Em /D (all with D bass)
Healing waters, flowing down
Born of snow melt on higher ground
Cool and clear, wild and free
I am standing in your stream
On a granite boulder marbled gray and blue
Fallen from the cliffs above and landed in you
Polished smooth over maybe a thousand years
In your current, resting here
Chorus: A / G D / G D / A
Help me remember, remember who I am
Help me remember, remember who I am
G / A / D / G
Into your waters I release my pain
G / A / D
Make me whole again
Ancient water, flowing new
I will make my confession to you
I have given myself away
I have swallowed a whole world of shame
I gave my innocence to the right and wrong
I’ve plead my case now for far too long
I gave my faith to someone else’s god
I lost my voice when I heard them applaud
I gave my body to the wounded man
And I woke in a scared and angry land
I poured my loneliness into an epic poem
And spent my whole life searching for home
Chorus
By the strength of the rock below
And by the cool touch of your soothing flow
I open to what I could not see
And I let forgiveness wash over me
Chorus
Heaven Now

Riff: Em-D-C-Bm-C-G-C-D
C / D
You come when I’m quiet
I can hear you now
Cool as a soft breeze
On my hard-working brow
And I lean into you
And it all falls away
Like the long caress of a lullaby
When I hear you, when you say
C / D
Heaven Now
Em G / D
Heaven Now
Riff
Where did the day go?
Where were you? Where was I?
Twilight brings a gift
And it’s wrapped in a sigh
So I lay aside all my precious plans
And I sip the evening sky
And I have no more objection
To voice living inside

In Your Arms

G C G C Em Am D
Love is all there is
In your tender kiss
Hold me in your arms
In your arms
O-o-o carry me
Lift my soul and body
Gently in your arms
In your arms
Safe now, here with you
There is nothing we need to do
But to feel you holding me
Holding me
Water & Stone
Tim Hartnett
Dm Am Dm Am G Am G Am
I’m going home now
Water and stone
Grey smoke is rising
I’m going home
Warm is the fire
Strong is the storm
I’ve known desire, since the
Day I was born
We are but children
We run and we play
Innocent children
All of our days
Instrumental
Dm G Em Am F C G
Ask all your questions
And say what you know
Truth holds us steady
Wherever we go
There is a meadow
And a clear flowing stream
When I close my eyes
It’s all I can see

When we stop seeking
Where will we go?
This blessed journey
Is all that I know

[G]The day the [Bm]world began, [C]with one [G]great big bang
