[Verse 1]
E B
Soft field of clover
C#m A E
Moon shining over the valley
A B C#m
Joining the song of the river
A B E A
To the great giver of the great good
[Verse 2]
E B
As it enfolds me
C#m A E
Somehow it holds me together
A B C#m
I realize I've been singing
A B
Still it comes ringing
E A
Clearer than clear
[Chorus]
E B
And here by the water
C#m A E
I'll build an altar to praise Him
A B C#m
Out of the stones that I've found here
A B
I'll set them down here
E A
Rough as they are
[Bridge]
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
[Verse 3]
E B
I think how a yearning
C#m A E
Has kept on returning to move me
A B C#m
Down roads I'd never have chosen
A B
Half the time frozen
E A
Too numb to feel
[Verse 4]
E B
I know it was stormy
C#m A E
I hope it was for me a learning
A B C#m
Blood on the road wasn't mine though
A B
Someone that I know
E A
Has walked here before
[Chorus]
E B
And here by the water
C#m A E
I'll build an altar to praise Him
A B C#m
Out of the stones that I've found here
A B
I'll set them down here
E A
Rough as they are
[Bridge]
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
E B A
Knowing You can make them holy
