I've spent some days looking for a length of rope
Am
And a place to hang it from the end of my hope
FC
But where I thought hope had ended I always find a little bit more
-
C
It’s not like I'm trying to be optimistic
Am
If the truth be told I'd rather dismiss it
FCG
And be free of the burden of the living that hoping requires
-
FC
To bring my heart
AmG
To every day
CF
And run the risk of fearlessly loving
C
Without running away

C
Jesus is speaking but it's so hard to hear
Am
When disciples with swords are cutting off ears
FCG
Broken and bleeding I'm waiting for healing to come
-
C
But wounded's a part that I've learned to play well
Am
Though the wound may run deeper than I know how to tell
FC
Where pain's an addiction that keeps me buried alive
FCG
But when it's all that I know I'm afraid to leave it behind
-
FC
And bring my heart
AmG
To every day
CF
And run the risk of fearlessly loving
C
Without running away

AmF
My heart is not lifted up
CG
My eyes are not lifted up
AmFCG
But calm and quiet is my soul
AmFCG
Like a child with its mother is my soul
-
C
After a while in the dark your eyes will adjust
Am
In the shadows you'll find the hand you can trust
FC
And the still small voice that calls like the rising sun
G
Come
-
FC
And bring your heart
AmG
To every day
CF
Run the risk of fearlessly loving
AmG
Without running away
AmF
You must run the risk of fearlessly loving
G
Without running away
