[Verse 1]
F
I can't sing that song the same way anymore
Dm
Cause I start laughing at the parts where I could only weep before
F
And it sounds sweeter now because the notes can't ring
Dm
Until they echo through each wasted year that You restored to me, oh oh
[Chorus 1]
Bb F
I've been thinking of how You wept for Lazarus
Bb F
Tears on Your cheeks, resurrection on Your lips
Bb Dm
Sometimes mercy can feel like abandonment
C
But You know all about it
F Dm
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
F
I used to think I had to write these songs just so;
Dm
For heavens sake and for my own I put myself through hell
F
But I quit striving for perfection; surrendered up to it instead
Dm
And now the songs keep pouring out and I cannot contain myself
[Chorus 2]
Bb F
I've been thinking of how You wept for Lazarus
Bb F
Tears on Your cheeks, resurrection on Your lips (Broken will)
Bb F
Sometimes mercy feels just like abandonment (Find your rest / Broken voice)
Bb F
You let my heart die, but left Yours beating in my chest (You sing best)
[Bridge]
Dm Bb Dm
At 30,000 feet above, the earth is small enough
Bb
To think of everyone I love
Gm F/A
And then imagine them a thousand mirrors
Dm C/E
All reflected back at once
Bb F/A Dm
And any light would multiply and then remind me
C/E
That Your love is more than the sum
F Dm Bb F Dm Bb
Oh, oh, oh
