The Collection


Tom: G

G
Looked in Your eyes
          G
They were burning like cigarettes
   G
On top of a head
           G
That could resurrect Lazarus
C                                          G
Up from the grave that somehow made You cry


[Verse 2]
G
Both of Your hands were rough like a carpenter's
G
So accustomed

To nails and to hammers
C                                                  G
Never would've thought those nails would cut inside
         C                                      G
Oh, Your hands were blessed one holy, holy night


[Interlude]
C G


[Chorus]
    G
But we found Your grace

It was waiting inside of a
G
Dead dark place

With few survivors
   C
It seems that You lived
                               G
In places I reckoned You wouldn't
    G
And all that we saw

Were people that had no hope
    G
And You changed my eyes into flaming kaleidoscopes
  C                                             G
I saw something that I thought for sure was fiction
        C                                                G
But the peace that it brought me erased all of my convictions


[Interlude]
D G D G


[Bridge]
C
There was a knife
                       G
Buried deep inside the part of our hearts
         D                             C
Where we learned how to love something other than us

It was built on a sandy shore
G                         D
Hoping the waves wouldn't come to the door
    C
And greet us with disdain and heaviness
       G
One of redemption
        D                            C            G
Washing away all the thoughts we had ran to before


[Outro]
      G
Well, You rescued me from my disbelief
G
Would You please rescue me from being a thief
   C                                       G
Of things that will burn up when it's the end
    G
The dust collects, yeah, dust it upsets
    G
And we are only dust at best
    C                                    G
But You can breathe dust back to life again
    C                                             G
Oh, flood the whole world and dust will walk again
