[Verse]
C
It's a blessing when I see The dark clouds parting
Am G
When the rain is gone and The sun is breaking through
F
I anticipate when life Will just be normal
A# F G
Just to close my weary eyes And rest in you
C
My heart can rest so easy When there's blue skys
Am G
When the wind is gone And rain is not in sight
F
How I long to Hang my sword
A#
Above the mantle Away from harm

And distant from The fight

But I wouldn't know Your peace
Am
Without the hard times Or be thankful
For relief Without the pain
G F

A# F G
Or appreciate the sun Without the rain

How could I Understand forgiveness
Without failure Or feel the
Am7
Warmth of love Without the bitter cold

Around his feet And in his mind
The devil taunt It as he whispers

Bm7
In the tempest When the master spoke
A G
And winds and seas obeyed And he remembered
That storm calming All around him

He could rest In that dark

Prison unafraid And say
