D
♫ Verse 1:
DGD
Upon a winding forest road
DGA
I met a soldier far from home
BmGD
I saw he was my enemy
GAD
So I aimed at him and he at me
DGD
Prepared was I, but loath to shoot
DGA
And he, uncertain what to do
BmGDA cold sweat formed upon my brow
GAD
But we both kept rank and stood our ground
DGD
And then, the curious thing occurred
DGA
On wings arrived a tiny bird
BmGD
And troubled not by war or peace
AGD
She sang for us a melody

♫ Verse 2:
EAE
I did not move or look away
EAB
Lest my life, my foe would take
C#mAE
Yet in his eyes, I saw his fright
ABE
Just a boy like me afraid to die
EAE
The meadowlark sang on and on
EAB
Then more arrived and joined the song
C#mAE
And as I held my rival stare
ABEA tremendous chorus filled the air
EAE
Then in my heart, as clear as day
EAB
I heard a gentle whisper say
C#mAE
My son, if my disciple be
ABE
Show grace and love your enemy

♫ Verse 3:
F#BF#
With swell of birds sung all around
F#BC#
Lowered I my rifle down
D#mBF#
And as my foe took aim at me
BC#DE
I showed him yield on bended knee
F#BF#
He faltered then and shook with fear
F#BC#
And from his eye, he wiped a tear
D#mBF#
His gaze was as a brothers bond
BC#F#
And then, he turned and he was gone

If I should live to see more days
F#BC#
I pray the Lord to guide my ways
D#mBF#
With grace to love my enemy

For grace, my Savior showed to me
D#mBF#
With grace to love my enemy
BC#B
For grace, my Savior showed to me
