[Verse 1]
             Em                  F        C
I tempered the storm though your faith was small
  Am             Em              F          C
I prayed while you slept and the night waged war
   Am         Em            F        C
We stood in the fire and we walked on sea
       Am         Em              F      C     C /// | C/E 
And we drank of the wine that was made of Me


[Pre-chorus]
F      Am  
 Don't
F                  Am   
 Turn your eyes from Me
F                 Dm  C      C/E
 For my love won't  be undone
F     Am
 Don't
F                  Am        
 Hide your face from Me
F                 Dm   C
 For My light has sure - ly come
      Em           F     
Surely come, surely come
               Dm     C
Oooh oooh oooh ooohhh


[Verse 2]
  Am         Em            F        C
I carried that cross and I felt your pain
  Am         Em            F        C
I took up your crown and I wore your shame
    Am          Em            F         C
And death was a fire, and its teeth were grim
      Am        Em              F       C    C /// | C/E 
But I left it behind along with all your sin


[Pre-chorus]
F      Am  
 Don't
F             Am   
 Turn away from Me 
F                  Dm C      C/E
 For my love won't be  undone
F     Am
 Don't
F                  Am        
 Hide your face from Me
F                 Dm   C
 For My light has sure - ly come
      Em           F     
Surely come, surely come
               Dm     
Oooh oooh oooh ooohhh


[Chorus]
C                    Am   
 Lift up your eyes and see
G               C/E        F     Am - F // | Dm
 Heaven is closer than you know
C                     Am   
 Lift up your voice and sing
G                      C/E       F     Am - F   
 Know that My love won't let you go
               Dm
And I won't forsake you
C                    Am   
 Lift up your eyes and see
G               C/E        F     Am - F  
 Heaven is closer than you know
                Dm
Know I'll never leave you
C                     Am   
 So lift up your voice and sing
G                      C/E       F     Am - F   
 Know that My love won't let you go
                 Dm    C
And My light has surely come
      Em           F     
Surely come, surely come
             Dm        C      Em /// | F /// | F //
And I'm closer than you know
             Dm        C    
And I'm closer than you know
