Am G/B F
Take the world but give me God's love
Am G/B F
'Cause I'll find rest when I'm dead
Am G/B F
'Cause He's the sweetest song that I have ever heard
Am G/B F
It plays loud inside my head
Turn: Am G/B F
Am G/B F
I long for You just like the ocean breeze
Am G/B F
'Cause You're the wind that fills my sails
Am G/B F
My senses are numbed by the autumn scene
Am G/B F
Like the leaves that paint the ground
Am G/B F
You are ho - ly
Am G/B F
You are ho - ly
C Dm Am G
Wh - oa, my eyes are on the sky
C Dm Am G
Wh - oa, arms opened wide
C Dm Am G
Wh - oa, rain on me tonight
C Dm Am G
'Cause You are holy
Turn: Am G/B F
Verse 2: *same chords* I long for you just like a precious stone
'Cause You're the jewel that captures me
And who could have loved with a love so bold
To give His son up to die for me
Chorus: *same chords*Whoa, my eyes are on the sky
Whoa, arms opened wide
Whoa, rain on me tonight
'Cause You are holy
Bridge: (listen for timing)
Am
I'm just dry and brittle
F
Looking for the rain
Bdim Dm Am G
So open up the heavens and revive me again
Whoa, my eyes are on the sky
Whoa, arms opened wide
Whoa, rain on me tonight
'Cause You are holy
