[Intro]
Am G
God of the rivers and the waterfalls
Am G
God of thunder and lightning

God of the plains and the mountains
Am G
Of rainbows and prairies
Am G Em
God of birth and death, of love and hope
[Chorus]
Am G Am
God of sun and moon

God of ocean tides
G Am
You, who drive the stars

You of perfect light
Am G C
Teach me how to sing
[Verse 1]
F C Am
And it came to pass on a cloudy night
F C
That I found myself lost in the dark
F C Em
And the wind blew cold and I was afraid
Am C
And if love were lost how would I live
[Verse 2]
Am F
You were like some mist in the fading light
G F
And my broken dreams wept in the night
Am F
Where was all the love we had known before
G F
In this sea of tears, would I reach the shore?
[Chorus]
Am G Am
God of sun and moon
G Am
God of ocean tides
G Am
You, who drive the stars
G
You of perfect light
Am G C
Teach me how to sing
[Verse 3]
F C Am
I was on my knees, I was at the end
F C
There was nothing left, I would never mend
F C Em
When I heard a song in the waves that tossed
Am C
Death is not the end, there is nothing lost
[Chorus]
Am G Am
God of sun and moon
G Am
God of ocean tides
G Am
You, who drive the stars
G
You of perfect light
Am G C G
Teach me how to sing
[Bridge]
Bb C Bb C
Music of the spheres, through eternity
Bb C Bb C
Say that through your tears, you will always see
Ab Bb
Say the more you lose, that the more you own
Ab Bb
And the more you love, that the more you've sown
G7
Say the pain you feel, opens up your heart
[Verse 4]
F C Am
Where the swallows flew there was once a cloud
F C
Now the sun was bright and the river smiled
F C Em
And I heard you say, "Death is just a dream
Am C
Make your songs again, you must always sing"
[Chorus]

You of perfect light

God of everything

God of everything
