My Epic's Zion
Standard Tuning -- No Capo -- Transpose as you please for easier playing
[Verse 1]
Dm F C Gm Bb C
as a bride, blushing bides on the bed for the touch of her love to arrive
Dm F C Gm
other passions call and loom but she will wait for her groom
Bb
just the same
C Dm
I am restless for You
Dm F C Gm Bb C (2x)
[Verse 2]
Dm F C Gm Bb C
as the vagrant, dreams of vacant lands to plow, and a hearth to call home
Dm F C Gm
but each distance only fails him so he'll keep drifting through
Bb
just the same
C Bb
I am restless for You
[Chorus 1]
C Dm F Bb
You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed
C Dm F Bb
all before then grew dim in the light of desire awakened
and all else be cursed
Dm
I choose rather this thirst
Dm F C Gm Bb C (2x)
[Verse 3]
Dm F C Gm Bb
no man, no land, no task for my hand ever soothes
C
I stay restless for You
Dm F C Gm Bb
all I am, was made for You and no other will do
C Bb
so I stay restless for You
[Chorus 2]
C Dm F Bb
You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed
C Dm F Bb
and gifted grace til my heart could awaken, embrace, and return it
C Dm F Bb
all I see now every goodness, each beauty and blessing
C Dm F Bb
are but tremor and wake and stir me further to love and to longing
[Outro]
Bb C
only for you only for you
Dm F
does my soul wait
Bb
do my bones ache
C
only for you only for you
Dm F
does my soul wait
Bb
do my bones ache
only for you
C
I'll not be satisfied
Dm
till my hopes and my eyes
F Bb
both alight on that view
C
there leave longing behind
Dm
I'll discard my desire
F
when I'm resting in You
F C Dm Bb
F C Dm Bb F C Dm
no man, no land, no task for my hand ever soothes
Bb F
I stay restless for You
C Dm Bb F
