(Note: It's in the key of B. But I usually play it in A and put the capo on the 2nd fret.)
Intro: B B
E F# B
How often do we spot the angels?
E F# B
Or feel the unseen hand?
E F# D#m G#m
Most times are tough, the going rough
E F#
Like there never was a master plan
E F# B
Those steadfast doors won't open
E F#
And you pray but you don't understand
B F# E
Hold fast the hope that's in you
B F# E
Don't always trust your eyes
B F# G#m D#m
Sometimes it takes a long time to see it as
E F# B
A blessing in disguise
E F# B
We live upon this dark surface
E F# B
And God, He moves upon the deep
E F# D#m G#m
What is concealed will be revealed
E F#
There is no promise, He won't keep
E F# B
Still, we're confused by the shadows
E F#
We're awake but we're half asleep
B F# E
Hold fast the hope that's in you
B F# E
Don't always trust your eyes
B F# G#m D#m
Sometimes it takes a long time to see it as
E F# B
A blessing in disguise
G#m F#
Sometimes the dark can move our hearts
E F# B
To long for the light of the Son
G#m F#
And our ways don't become His ways
E F#
Until we are undone
B F# E
Hold fast the hope that's in you
B F# E
Don't always trust your eyes
B F# G#m D#m
Sometimes it takes a long time to see it as
E F#
A blessing in disguise
B F# E
And after you've been broken
B F# E
You may not realize
B F# G#m D#m
That you are grace to the broken-hearted
E F# E F#
And a blessing in, a blessing in
E F# B
You are a blessing in disguise
