It's the light when it finds you in the bottom of a ship going down
          F#                                          C#
It's the blood on the Bible and memories chasing you down
          F#                                                       H 
It's the kindness of strangers and the patience of love while you heal
          F#                         C#                         F#
It's the giving in slowly, it's the long, winding loss of your will  
 
Chorus:
          F#    H           F#
It's the looo-o-o-o-ong surrender
        H                             F#
On our knee-ee-ees where Heaven gets found
         F#    H                     F#    H 
We will waa-a-ait with the lost and weary
           F#                     C#             F#
While You turn the weight of our sorrows into a crown

It's the new of the morning when your city is burned to the ground
          F#                                                 C#
It's the knowing that everything rises from the hem of Your gown
        F#                                     H 
In the weakness of man, there lies a power so fine
    F#                      C#                           F#
No weapon can break it, no circumstance will change our minds
