I've spent some days looking for a length of rope
Am
And a place to hang it from the end of my hope
F C
But where I thought hope had ended I always find a little bit more
C
It's not like I'm trying to be optimistic
Am
If the truth be told I'd rather dismiss it
F C G
And be free of the burden of the living that hoping requires
F C
To bring my heart
Am G
To every day
C F
And run the risk of fearlessly loving
C
Without running away
C
Jesus is speaking but it's so hard to hear
Am
When disciples with swords are cutting off ears
F C G
Broken and bleeding I'm waiting for healing to come
C
But wounded's a part that I've learned to play well
Am
Though the wound may run deeper than I know how to tell
F C
Where pain's an addiction that keeps me buried alive
F C G
But when it's all that I know I'm afraid to leave it behind
F C
And bring my heart
Am G
To every day
C F
And run the risk of fearlessly loving
C
Without running away
Am F
My heart is not lifted up
C G
My eyes are not lifted up
Am F C G
But calm and quiet is my soul
Am F C G
Like a child with its mother is my soul
C
After a while in the dark your eyes will adjust
Am
In the shadows you'll find the hand you can trust
F C
And the still small voice that calls like the rising sun
G
Come
F C
And bring your heart
Am G
To every day
C F
Run the risk of fearlessly loving
Am G
Without running away
Am F
You must run the risk of fearlessly loving
G
Without running away
