There is Life

You hear the cries and see past the lies; (Dm Bb F)
You know the weak, they’re falling so deep. (Am Dm)
They run so fast the world’s a blur, (Bb F)
Only to look back and find that they are (Am)
Drowning, (Dm)
They’re Burning, (Bb)
They’re Dying, (Gm)
They’re Dead. (A)

They walk so stubbornly with no shame, (Dm Bb F)
Mocking and Scoffing your glorious name. (Am Dm)
The waves of this world are pulling them down, (Bb F)
Lord stretch your hands out because they are (Am )
Drowning, (Dm)
They’re Burning, (Bb)
They’re Dying, (Gm)
They’re Dead. (A)

Yet out of darkness, there is light; (D A A/Bb)
Out of Tears and sorrow you’ve brought joy for tomorrow. (Bm G)
And out of emptiness, there is completeness; (D A)
‘Cause now there is life where once there was death, (Bm G)
You stretched out your hand to the hopeless, (D/F# A)
You picked us as the chosen elect, (Bm G)
Yes, You granted us life in the face of death. (D/F# G)

So now there’s dancing, (D/F#)
There’s laughing, (G)
There’s living, (Bm)
There’s Life. (A)
